The. 1941 .session of the State

St. Paul next Tuesday with pros-
pects for an interesting term. The

" Because of the ouster of John G.
Rockwell ^pd Eugene Carstater in
the department of education and
the scandal at Anoka in regard to
the tornado relief, there is a pos-
sibility that much smoke will be
raised bv some- legislators.
While "the Farmer-Laborites are
•in the minority, several stalwarts
are expected' to join with them on
several measures when "fur -will be

legislative circles last session may
"be something to consider again this
session.

Brookins, extension crcps specialist
from University Farmi will attend
this meeting- to .-discuss crop prob-
lems,, especially those-relat-ed'to'flax-
production in this county. -
There is, without doubt, an urg-
ent need en many Pennington. coun -.
ty farms for more definite under-
standing as to the value of usin?
clean seed of recommended varie-
ties, the county agent's office hai
pointed out. Likewise, there is ne'
for more extensive information a-
to the best farming practices
carry -on in raising a crop. The ex-
tent to which crop hazards,
as weeds and plant -diseases can~b2
reduced, is very, closely connected
with farming practices that are
within control of the farmer.
If there is sufficient interest in
developing some definite crop im-
provement work within the county. !
good cooperation will be realized
I from the Extension Division. Dem-
I onstratlons could with little diffi-
culty^ be. set up on various farms
throughout the county, showing the
value of using clean seed of adopt-
ed varieties. A plan for making ex-
tensive use of good seed could be
worked out. Special emphasis In
Pennington county should be plac-
ed on flax because it is the most
important cash crop grown in the
county.

Roosevelt's Talk On Aid To
Britain Is Favorably Received
Patronize our advertisers
President Roosevelt gave his 15th
fireside broadcast Sunday evening
to what is. believed to have been
the most widely llstened-to address
In the nation's history. The topic
was aid to Britain just short of
war and the reaction from the
country since indicates that the
tone of the talk was in general
favor.
Speaking with great seriousness
In a much awaited radio broadcast
that went 'round the world, the
chief executive linked the nation's
future security with Britain's abil-
ity to achieve victory.
The British people battling the
axis, he said, .were fighting "an
unholy alliance of power and pelf
(which seeks) to dominate and en-
slave the human race.
"Our own future security is great-
ly dependent on the outcome of
that fight. Our ability "to 'keep out
of war' is going to be affected by
that outcome."
Must Hike Output
"For„us," he said, "this is an
emergency as serious as war itself.
We must apply ourselves to our
task with the same resolution, the
same sense of urgency, the same
spirit of patriotism and sacrifice as
we would show were we at war."
' "All our present efforts are not
'enough," he asserted. "We must
have more ships, more guns, more
planes— more of everything. Thoa
can only be accomplished if we dis-
card the notion of "business as us-
aal." This job cannot be done by
merely superimposing on the exist-
ing Iroductlve facilities the added
requirements for defense."
Mr. Roosevelt coupled his call for
virtual wartime munitions produc-
tion with the pledge of multiplying

More than $44,003,000 has been
put into quick circulation in Min-
nesota through the WPA program
during the past year, S. L. Stolte,
WPA administrator, announced this
week in reviewing the work of that
federal agencv.
. Federal funds totaled $31,469,995.
Contributions toward project un-
dertakings faf.- local public sponsors-
amounted to S13.167.091.
Projects of the division of oper-
ations and the professional and
service division gave work to an, -
average of 39,921 needy men and?
women in all counties of the state-
during 1940. Employment ranged
from a high of 49.161 Feb. 2?, to a
law of 33,006 June 29. The high,
point for the year was below that
of 64,825 registered in 1939. The
1940 low, however, came close to the
record of 33,809 set during the pre-
ceding 12 months.
Pennington County
The recreation program in ~Psn-
hington county is cperatir:^ in'
Thief River Falls for the purpose
of promoting a full time year round
nrogram consisting of physical ac-
tivities, craft, puppetry, handicraft,
and low organized. games. This -oro-
gram is operating under the local
recreation board with the coopera-
tion of WPA recreation leaders.
Thief River Falls has just recent-
ly igone through a period of com-
plete reorganization and we feel
that with the fine backing and fa-
cilities and the improved tyne of
leadership that is being offered the
program, they will go ahead by
leaps, and bounds.
Thief River Falls
The interest of the people of
Thief River Fs-ills is directed to the
repairs to the Sanatorium, im-
provements to the park, construc-
tion of the skating" rink, extension
of several blocks to the water and
sewer systems, construction of a
large amount of sidewalks- and im-
provements at the fairgrounds.
St. Hllalre
In St. Hilaire the construction of
the recreation building on the
scohol grounds is of vital import-
ance. - _

the war continues, they sense a social change going
on in Britain pointing towards a new social ordet
in which rule wul be taken from the tory class and
lodged with the people. Rather than permit that to
happen, they prefer a peace with Hitler and adjust
themselves, to the kind of a world that he would
create.
Ex-Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy is strongly
suspected as giving expression to this group. Kennedy
to be sure, does not desire an outright Hitler victory,
but would like to see a negotiated peace at this time
and a Nazi victory.
Most observers who have been In England in
recent months report unmistakable signs of a social
ferment-Indications that the rank and file of the
people have lost all faith in the ability of the tory
class to rule, conservatives like Kennedy see In thli
social ferment something terrible; liberals see In it
something that Is hopeful.
The propaganda that socialism will come to Eng-
land if the war continues much longer Is being feci
to the big Industrialist and banking groups of this
country with, telling effect. Nazi elements are en-
ed. Some may think we are idiotic in our Ideas or
that the ideas are '»« ^^r^ ft , propa5anda . Aldln g also are groups

"Lend-Lease" : Plan Gains Support;
Shake-up To Speed Defetase Pro-
gram
Despite ' strong opposition to
President Roosevelt's "lend-lease'
plan to aid Great Britain already
developing In Congress, especially
f/om the isolationist groups, it is
generally agreed that the coming
Congress will'out through the plan
with very little. If any, modifica-
tion.
Announcement of the aid plan,
together with changes to be made
in the defense setup, coming at a
time when the defense program is
admittedly far behind schedule, is
taken to mean that this country Is
about to go in for an all-out effort
both for defense and aid t'o Great
Britain. The country is to be plac-
ed virtually on b war footing.
It is noted, that the President told
newspaper reporters that Edward
Stettinius, one of the commission-
ers in the National Defense Advis-
ory Commission, likely "will serve
his country" j in a production divis-
ion, to be created. It had been an-
nounced for some time that Mr,
Stettinius was to be eased out of
a position of importance, since he
is said to have been too much con-'
cerned with ; preserving the prerog
books are not on the statute books
just for the fun of it, that they, are
expected to comply with these laws
and that if management and labor
cannot get together for the good
of the country, ibere is no other
course for the government to pur-
sue than following the examples
to ,be found in England and other
European counties — nationalization
of the defense industries. This is
one argument that compels them
to sit up and listen. Labor will nev-
er object to such procedure.
In that connection, it is said that
Leon Henderson, economic advisor
to the defense commission, is now
working on a plan for nationaliza-
tion of the aviation industry. Here
is a club that the government can
wield .with great persuasiveness. If
reactionary employers are given the
choice between nationalization' of
their -industry and establishment of
enlightened labor relations, they
will not toss a coin to see what
they will do.
Rent Profiteering
Profiteering in rents on a dis-
turbingly large scale, government
officials admit, is taking place in
virtually all localities where de-
fense industries and army canton-
ments are located. In the former,
tne low-income groups are the vic-
tims, rents having gone up as high
as 60 per cent. In the latter, it is
the commissioned and non-com-
missioned officers -who are being
gouged. Small, poorly -turn ished,

GOOD OLD CUSTOM
What has become of those New Year 'resolutions
we used to hear so much about in the old days?
iLest the youngsters may not know about the
former custom, it should be stated that forming a
"New Year's resolution" consisted principally in a
person acknowledging his shortcomings or his sins,
or both, and making a high resolve that he would
forsake the old road ana follow a new and better
one during the New Year to come.
Thus the lay-abed would -decide to get up on
the first tinkle of the alarm clock, the' dilatory far-
mer would get his work done on time and the crops
in early, the nagging partner would resolve to bridle
his or her tongue, and all In all, everybody would
-plan on eliminating some of the. undesirable charac-
teristics common to the past year.
Whether or not plans are being made by many
people for the betterment of themselves and better
conditions for their neighbors is not known to this
writer. Perhaps it is Just not the fashion to talk
about what people hope to do or to see done. Per-
haps the cycle is swinging to the point or self-
enjoyment, and other persons and their potentiali-
ties are forgotten.
Whatever is being done, it is a safe plan for
those who have positions of power and trust to take
a new look at their Job and a- new look at the rights

t Efforts of, reactionaries to make
labor the goat for the lagging de-
fense program have not been suc-
cessful. It is obvious that their
game has been to lay the ground-
work for pasSage of -anti-labor leg-
islation. Also, they want to circum-
vent any attempt of labor to organ-
ize the workers hi the defense in-
dustries.
The Administration undoubtedly
is giving serious attention to the
problem of defense production con-
tinuing "without interruption,, but
FOR is not looking at it the way
the tories would want him to. The
President has let it be known that
he will not consent to sacrifice gains
made by labor in recent years, nor
in any lowering of labor standards.
It is not necessary, he points out.
Sidney Hillman's position in the
new defense setup is assurance to
labor that the reactionaries will
not have their fway.

employers are to be told by Admin-

Ford, president, disclosed.
Three reasons why the boost in
funds will be asked were cited by
President (Ford as follows:
1. Because public education is
more important today than eyer
before:
2. Because the anti-democratic
forces aflame in the world "have
everywhere overthrown educational
freedom where they were victor-
ious."
3. Because the maintenance ap-
propriations by the state to tht
University of Minnesota have, far
from kept pace with the growth in
enrollment.
Price rises, which will reduce the
power of each dollar of appropria-
tions, a continuing increase in the
number of students graduated from
Minnesota high schools, source of
future university enrollment, and
a longer average stay, per student,
at the university were among other
factors given by President Ford for
the Increase.
The report also points out that
state funds available per student at
the University have declined from
$384.91 in 1921-22, when there were
8,983 students, summer students ex-
cluded, to $216.15 in 1933-40, when
there were in attenaance 17,626
students of college rank, summer
students, again excepted.
For the coming biennium the re-
gents are asking for $4,475,000 per
year as against $3,540,000 annually
in the current biennium. In this
regard they set their estimate ot
other income to be received by the
university in each year at $3,168,000
which is the same figure in pre-
paring estimates for the present
college year.

Editor Tri-County Forum:
Sorry to hear about the passing
of late Hon. M. A. Brattland, our
reelected district judge-^but this
can't be avoided. That's a natural
process, and we all have to die
;ome time. So on the 13th of De-
cember his heart stopped beating
for those down trodden, poor, and
oppressed — not only - in his home
country but all over the world.
He was one of the many unpro-
fessed, intellectual and high stand-
ing officers of the U. S. who signed
a petition to president Vargas of
Brazil and asked him to free Lois
Carlos Prestes, imprisoned liberal
leader of that country whose wife
was deported from Brazil to Nazi
Germany.
- This shows he kept himself post-
ed on what was going on outside the
U.- S. and without hesitation lent
his name to help these persecuted.
Honor to his memory.
It is gratifying to hear how our
inteligency start realizing the fact
that /public owriership is, or would
be, the only cure for all the troub-
les present and future, caused by
invention of all kinds — labor sav-
ing machines — not war — war is de-
structive in every direction. By
dividing the work among all the
citizens to give everyone a chance
to earn his own living without gov-
ernment support. This can't be done
so long as the basic industry Is in
private hands and those who own
the. labor saving machines have no
obligation to the Nation as a whole
except paying -taxes. Even this, in
many instances, is more or less cu-
short. Hoping for a better and lust-
ful condition, — I wish to the Editor
and to all the readers a. Merry
Christmas and a very Happy and
Prosperous New Yeqr-
Sincerely yours,

TRICKS TO EVERY TRADE
. The Research Institute of America, inc., New
York City, tells- its members how they can mani-
pulate things so as. in effect to cheat Uncle Sam out
of his just taxes.
On the assumption that "higher taxes are a
foregone conclusion next year," the Institute advises.
"The average taxpayer, faced with stiffer taxes next
year and the probability of more income, will find
it good strategy, as. a general thing, to accumulatt
income items this year and push deductions oyer
into the next year. If this is done, income with
probably fall subject to less severe rates this year
and the deferred deductions will be more useful. next
year in offsetting income." I
The institute also advises its members to give
employees bonuses rather than wage increases, if it
becomes necessary to increase employee «mj n «*
due to increases in living costs. This method, it
points cut, will reduce the amounts it may be re-
quired to pay for overtime since it will involve no
increase in basic wages, and later, when the proper
time comes; will make it easier to reduce employee
earnings. Wage reductions are more difficult -to effect
than merely cutting out bonus, it argues.

Serious consideration is being
given in the division to the intro-
duction in the ,next Session of con-r

In a letter sent by the Social

It has been, customary for. Eng
lls h and European' commentators 'to''
dlsparge American political insti-
tutions; even so friendly a critic
as Lord Bryce felt that the Ameri-
can people .were far better than
their government and that Ameri-
can democracy succeeded almost in
spite of the political machinery
through which it functioned.. Mr.
Laski's attitude is far more under-
standing and appreciative. Thor-
oughly familiar with English -and
Continental political forms, he does
not think American institutions ec-
centric because they depart from-
European models, and he is pre-
pared to' judge American institu-
tions hi' results.
The particular institution which
Mr. Laski has here subjected to
examination and interpretation Is
the Presidency. He has tried to ex-
I plain its history, functions, and
sought to tinge him with

POSSD3LY A .COALITION
Perhaps George Hagen, Polk county Farmer-
Laborite and House Leader, when he announced that
he would join the Democratic party will be the
forerunner of a coalition that both the (Farmer-Labor
party and the Democratic party have been trying to
bring about for the past few years.
Maybe George is on, the right track. But it will
never come about If he is only one of a few leaders
to join the Democratic party. If a number of lead-
ers continue in the Farmer-Labor party, the liberal
parties will be split more equally than they are
now,- which would mean even more security for the
Republican party of Minnesota.
It has been this writer's opinion in the last few
years that it doesn't make much difference whav
label the liberal party of Minnesota runs under as
long as' they are united. One can visualize a strong
united party that would practically spell doom to
the present administration if the leaders of the Far-
mer-Laborites and Democrats, as well as the rata
and me united under one banner.-Northland Times,
Bemldji.
The "help England" attitude is without question
gaining momentum and the greatest precaution must
be taken 'to avert a war hysteria similar to that
which brought; this country Into the first world war.

by the president, and which wffl be considered at

continues it is planned to discuss
"some questions that have recently
been raised about the issuance of
learners and apprentices certifi-
cates particularly in the light of
national defense needs."
The meeting of the labor advis-
ory group will be held Jan. 8 and
9, and the consultation with Mr.
Fleming will take place on the
morning of Jan. 10, if it is conven-
ient,- according to tho notice.
Discussion of asking congress to
amend the wage-hour act took plac?;
in the wage-hour division during
the drafting of the division's an-
nual report, not yet released, it was
learned here.
According to one account, the dis-
cussion never got beyond the talk-
ing' stage, persons in the division
believing that such a recommenda-
tion in the wage-hour report would
onen the door to a flood of destruc-
tive amendments prevailing.
According to another account
such, a" recommendation was incor-
porated in the report and was
stricken at the insistence of the
labor division of the National De-
fense Advisory Commission.
Thus the situation appears to be
that the wage-hour division, while
not recommending "perfecting" the
amendments in its report, is still
toying with the idea of presenting
ome amendments to the coming
determined to be the prevailing rate
of pay under the Bacon-Davis act.
The congressmen, however, were
in a sweat about their necks. Fear-
ing that the roof would fall in,
they have been demanding that the
job be rushed. Consequently the
men are (working overtime and on
Sundays.
As was explained by John Loch-
er, secretary of the Building and
Construction Trades Council of , -- -
Washington (AFL). overtime' rates problems and he has been bold to

1 " given particular attention to the
relations of the President with his
Cabinet, with Congress,, and* with
his party, and to the control exer-
cised by the President over foreign
relations. Hi s analysis is based upon
an understanding of our 'history,
illuminated by immediate familiar-
ity with contemporary political
leaders, and adjusted to the prac-
tical exigencies of American poli-
tics, public opinion, and economics.
The American President, Mr. Las-
ki states, must be an "uncommon
man of common 7 opinions. . , The
public must see themselves in him,
but they must, at the same time,
be confident that he is something
bigger than themselves. They must

have the sense that they are a party
of significant events."
Laski's book Is more than de-
t scrljrt±ve. J It,is.an.argument for a
strong Presidency and a strong r
centralized form of government. It
Is an attack upon federalism and
sectionalism, upon the power which
our 'system gives to special classes
and pressure groups. It is a clarion
call for national unity and for lead-
ership in a democracy. It is a ,potw- '
erful criticism of the disintegrating
force of partisan politics, of pork:
barrel legislation, of the selfish in-
tervention in national affairs of
sectional and class interests.
On some of the more controffer-
sial questions Mr. Laski's attitude
is orthodox. He has an acute un-
derstanding of the curious Ameri-
can institution of the Cabinet, and
would not have that institution
changed; he votes therefore against
the oft-made proposal to give Cab- ■
inet officers seats in Congress. He
is fully alive to the embarrassing
role often played by the Senate in
foreign relations, but concludes that
on the whole the American system
works as well as the English or the ■
French. On only two matters, in-
deed, does Mr. Laski suggest re-
forms. He would- have the Senate
abandon the system ct- "Senatorial
courtesy" and he woula deprive the
Congress of power to make appro-
priations not specifically requested
by the executive.

assistance in various forms by the
State Highway Patrol during No-
vember, according to a report sub-
mitted by Chief Elden Rowe. Much

per equipment or unsafe driving
practices which endangered ' the
lives of the drivers and others.
A total of 865 violators were ar-
rested by the patrol during the
month and here again illegal equip-
ment .particularly dangerous be-
cause of winter's slippery highways
and long hours of darkness, .bore

rested.' Other major causes for ar-
rests during the month were: care-
less driving 126, excessive speed for
road and weather conditions 128,

European War Provides
^Setting For Falls Movie
Breath-taking excitement, ro-
mance and drama, mystery' and in-
trigue are unfolded .in the thrill-
packed story "Foreign. Correspond-
ent," which Is slated for a gala pre-
miere at the Falls Theatre Satur-
day Midnight. Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday. "Foreign Correspondent"
was' filmed in recognition of the
intrepid group of American news-
papermen who are serving as the
nation's eyes and ears during the
European debacle, risking their
lives daily in order to keep their
own people Informed of the rapidly-
shifting panorama of war.
"Foreign Correspondent" has in
its principal roles Joel McCrea, Lo-
ralne Day, Herbert Marshall, Geo.
Sanders, Robert Benchley, Albert
Bassenrian, Edmund Gwenn, Harry
Davenport and Eduardo ' Clannelli.
Most elaborate and extensive set-
tings constructed for any produc-
tion in "Hollywood in several years
are those provided as backgrounds
for "Foreign Correspondent."
The largest setting is a recrea- '
tion of a square block of the heart
of Amsterdam with Its stores, build-
ings, streets, lighting system, tram,
lines and all the other details that
go to make up such an area of a
large city. This setting is highly
important as one of the most dra j
matlc episodes of the picture occurs
there. In all, 72 settings are Includ-
ed in "Foreign Correspondent",
among them, several London streets,
a reproduction of the Dutch coun-
tryside covering a large sound stage
and a transatlantic Clipper ship 120
feet bv 84 feet, so exact in its con-
struction that with a few minor
changes and the addition of mot-
ors it could be made to fly.
Producers cf market hogs can
look forward to improvement in
the price situation during the com-
ing year, although they will for a
time be handicapped by an unfav-
orable corn-hog price ratio, accord-
ing to a survey of outlook informa-
tion recently completed by Ernest
B^ughman, assistant extension
marketing specialist at University
Farm. Hog production dropped off
10 per cent in 1940 from the 1939
peak. With an unusually large per-
centage of this year's crop market-
ed early and no immediate increase
of farrowing in sight, economists be-
lieve that the 1940-41 production is
likely to remain fairly constant.
Export demands for .pork and
lard are likely to continue weak,
but the prospects for increased do-
mestic consumption are good.

Bird Banded Sixteen
Years Ago Is Found
A banded bird found dead near
the S. O. Johnson home in SWift
'county la.^t October was .bandqd
more than 16 years ago by F. W.
George at Aberdeen, S. D., accord-
ing to a report received by Game
Warden Roy T. Gordon of Kerk-
hoven from the federal division of
wildlife research. The" bird was a
bronzed Grackle and was banded
on Aug. 17, 1924. Birds are banded
by volunteer cooperators in the U.
S. and' Canada and serve without
pr.y for the purpose of learning the
migratory habits and other facts
about- the life histories of North
American birds.
The teacher had asked the class:
to name all the states. \One' small
urchin responded so quickly and"
accurately that she commended hirrt
for it.
"You did very well;" she said,
"much better than I could have
done at your "age."
"Yeah, and there wuz only 13
states thenj too."

"Lady With Red Hair", story of
the Dayton girl whose blazing red
locks and ambitious green eyes fas-
cinated a generation ^ of theatre-
goers in the Gay Nineties era has
been produced as a motion picture
with Miriam Hopkins as Mrs. Les-
lie Carter arid Claude Rains as
Belasco. The picture has its first
local showing at the Avalon Sunday
and Monday.
Mrs. Leslie Carter's very exciting
life story, which' is followed closely
in the picture, begins in Dayton, O.
because it was there,- in 1880, that
she married Leslie Carter of Chi-
cago. The wedding was one of the
social highspots of the' decade.
'Their marriage was unsuccessful,
and when they were divorced ' in
1889, custody of their little son was
given to Mr. Carter.
Caroline Dudley Carter at 28 had
n»ver acted ori any stage. But act-
ing was the career she chose. She
chose it, she related, because it was
the only chance she, had to -earn
a lot of -money and a lot of fame
quickly.
The rest of the life story of the
"Lady With Red Hair" Is fairly
well known because it is theatrical
history. . ' '*■
Mrs. Carter died in Hollywood in
November, 1937, red-headed to the
last.
Helen Westley and Laura Hope
Crews', who knew Belasco and Mrs.
Carter well, were given leading
parts. Richard Ainley the stage star

MIDDLE RIVER
Sadden Death of Mrs. Muir
Mrs. Josephine Muir of Undsell
township died alone in her home
in Lindsell township some tune be-
tween Friday evening and Tuesday
morning. She lived alone on her
farm and had been seen (by the
neighbors on Friday. No one noticed
her around on Saturday, but noth-
ing was thought of that as she
often walked around the neighbor-
hood. On Sunday the children of
Aldrick Lund took her mail over
as they had often done before. Not
getting any response to their request
for admittance they left the mail
in the outer doorway. Nothing be-
ing-seen of her either Sunday or
Monday, __.dr.cK_ Lund went over
to the Muir home on Tuesday to
investigate. Finding the mail still
in the doorway he apprehended that
something was wrong and entered
the house to investigate, with re-
sult, that he found Mrs. Muir dead
on her bed. She was fully dressed
and had a lighted lamp, turned "low
by her bedside, so the natural in-
ference Is that she laid Mown in
the evening to rest and read, either
Saturday or Sunday evening. The
county authorities werp notified on
Tuesday and Deputy Coroner Fors-
berg and deputy sheriff Johnsr.n
came over and made an investiga-
tion that evening.
She had been a victim of a weak
heart for many years and the find-
ing of Forsberg was that she died
from heart failure. A wrapped up
flatiron was found at her feet which
evinces that she was feeling poorly
when she lay down.
She was one of the early settlers
of Lindsell, having homesteaded
there about 1916.' She was born at
Homesville, Penn., in 1874 and at
the time of her death was- 66 years
of age. She was the fourth ^n a
family of eight brothers and sisters,
and was a sister of Mrs. R. D. V.
Carr. She had two living children,
Margaret of Chicago and James R.
Garey of Duluth. She was buried
in the "Randen cemetery on Sunday
afternoon beside her departed hus-
band, James Muir, who died in 1929
The unusually tragic feature of
the whole course of the events of
the death and burial is the fact
that her son James had no Inkling
of things untlP he walked in on
Christmas day and found her dead.
He had left Duluth on Tuesday af-
ternoon, stopped overnight at Be-
midji and continued on his journey
Christmas morning Intending to
spend Christmas with his mother.
This unprecedented mild holiday
weather has disrupted calculations
of both the rink committee and the
skaters of the village. The warming
house which has been placed on
the ice of the river channel above
the bridge, has had to be raised up
about a foot to prevent its being
flooded by the flow of the river.
The young generation, too, who had
anticipated/ such a Jolly holiday
season of skating have been greatly
disappointed by the continuous
mushy condition of the ice.
Miss Mickey Peterson, teacher at
Lancaster, and is at home for her
holiday vacation, had the misfor-
tune of falling and breaking an
arm while skating the day before
Christmas. .
Roy Ingalls writes that he is en-
joying a holiday visit with relatives

interesting there, and that enroute
there he had visited Mrs, W. J.
Ledin at Rudyard, Mont.

Truck Victims Taken
From Rainy Lake
The Roseau River Flood Control
association was informed last week j
by Dean Holm, St. Paul, executive
secretary of the Tri-State Waters
commission, that work on the Ro-
seau river project will be delayed
for about two years. The delay was
caused by the granting of author-
ity by the chief of engineers to
include a study of benefits to be
derived aiong the north fork of Two
Rivers from an increased low water
flow. Two Rivers is in Roseau and
Kittson counties. The new survey
will take considerable time, Holm
pointed out.

WOOD-HAULERS ISSUED
SAFETY POINTERS BY
HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
Motorists using trailers for haul-
ing tree-length fuel Wood were re-
minded this week of safety precau-
tions which the state Highway de-
partment requires for their own
protection and that, of their fellow-
motorists.
Numerous instances of flagrant
violations have been reported re-
cently and it is to eliminate this
hazard that the Safety Division Is-
sues the following reminders:
1. State law requires- warning
lights and Gage 'be installed on
over-length loads ■extending more
than four feet -beyond the rear of
the vehicle.
2. in case of loads of unusual
length or width, permits for thelr
movement on state trunk highway
are required. These, "within legal
limits, may be obtained 1 at any one
of the sixteen district maintenance
offices or at the central office at
■St. FauL ....... ,J?,. .
'TIS A PLEASANT CUSTOM
To extend New Year Greet-
ings each year, and it seems
to us especially meaningful
as we enter 1941. We pledge
our unceasing efforts to in-
crease cur friendship during
"every day of the coming
year.

Roosevelt's Talk On Aid
To Britain Well Received
rContinued from Pairs One! '
assistance for Britain and a stern
arraignment of what he defined as
the axis philosophy of government.
-The axis." he charged, "not
merely admits but the axis pro-
claims that there can be no ultim-
ate peace between their philosophy
of government and cur philosophy
of government."
The presidents talk with the peo-
ple — believed to have commanded
the largest radio audience ever to
hear any similar pronouncements
of his— touched on 10 major points,
In elfect, they were:
1. -Never before since Jamestown
and Plvmouth Rock has our Amer-
ican civilization been in such dan-
ger as now."
2. Greatly accelerated munitions
production was imperative, even at
the sacrifice of luxury goods and
non-essentials.
3. A steady flow of increasing aid
-would continue to Britain, as a vit-
al -part of the U. S. defense pro
gram, regardless of "threats" fron
''dictators."
4. "Our national policy is not dir-
ected toward war. Its sole purpose
is to keep ,war away from our coun-
try and our people," by helping
make possible British victory. Talk
of rjlans for a prtsent day American
expeditionary force is an "untruth. '
5. There (would be no appease-
ment and no American efforts, un-
der present circumstances, to bring
about p. "negotiated peace."
6. "British strength is growing. I
believe that the axis powers are
not coin:? to win this war."
7. "Military necessities" will dic-
tate the volume of future aid to
Britain — an assertion some thought
presa?:d upward revision of the
prese..*. C^-CD lovmula.
3. "Th? ncticn expects our de--
fense industries to continue opera-
tion without interruption by strikes
or lc-cT:cu:=. with management and
worker adjusting any difference by
voluntary or legal means."
9. "Evil forces are already with-
out our own gates" seeking to fo-
ment dissension,' sometimes with
die unwitting help of American
citizens.
10. The redoubled defense effort
■wculd see no governmental failure
to "protect the economic 'well-being
of all citizens."
2-Day Sale Of Purebred
. Lftestock Will Be Held
/During Winter Shows
The largest S3le cf purebred live-
stock in many years will be spon-
sored; by the : Red River Valley Live-
stock association this winter as a
result of-, action! taken at a recent
meeting of, the sales committee. The
committee 'approved a two-day auc-
tion sale to (be held Feb. 6-1 in
connection with, the Red River Val-
ley Winter Shows at Crookston.
It is the .first time in the history
of the event that a .two-day sale
has been planned. The extension
was made in order to take care of
the large, number of animals which
have already been listed, and also
to give breeders a better chance to
look over the stock.
Already 127 head of purebred
cattle, hogs, and sheep have .been
consigned to the sale. In going over
and. approving applications, the
committee made selections based on
type, quality, and condition of the
animals to be-.sold. Steps havejdso
been taken to protect buyersln the
matter of registration papers and
transfers. The advance sales list
will soon. he available at the office
of- the 'county agent.
Purebred . livestock breeders from
a wide'- 0i)e% in- and near the Red
RiYer Valjey 'are consigning sires
and suiiplus preeding stock to the
Crookston sate this year. A num-
ber of animals entered in the show
have also bean listed for the auc-
tion. ■ : . '
County Agent ' Lester A. Lemd
pointed - dut . this ' week th!at tiie

Farm Security Loans
Should Not Be Made
Hastily, Ommodt Says
Like doing one's Christmas shop-
ping early, there is good reason
why farm families expecting to call
upon the Farm Security Adminis-
tration for operating credit should
do so at this time of the year. This
was explained >by Charley Ommodt,
Farm Security Administration sup-
ervisor in Marshall and" Pennington
counties. He advises farmers ;i
"think ahead" about their credit
needs, instead of waiting until they
get down to their last bushel of
feed.
Mr. Ommodt pointed out that a
fanner apolying new for credit
which he will not need for several
months may have it held for him
and made available on a specified
date. Thus, the loan does not begin
to bear interest until it is actually
used.
"The advantage of applying in
the winter Is that this is the in-
between season/ when farmers can
size up their past year's business
and plan for the new' year," Mr.
Ommodt stated. "The F3A Super-
visor, too, has more time to help
the farm family develop a farm and
home management plan which is
fundamental to our program, and
often of more ibenefit than the loan
itself. Sometimes the working out
of these plans requires considerable
time and every spring we are forc-
ed to turn away applicants who
apply too late to permit such plans
to be drawn up. Many other farm-
ers, while approaching us in time
to receive the loans, find themselves
caught "up in the spring rush in
our office just when they are most
pressed for time." .
Farm Security Administration
loans are made to farm operators,
whether owners or tenants, who are
unable to obtain credit on reason-
able terms from other sources. The
loans can be made for feed, seed,
fertilizer, livestock, equipment and
similar operating goods for periods
of from ons to five years, with
Interest at five per cent.
The FSA Supervisor also called
attention to . the Farm Debt Ad-
justment service. This service,
which is confidential and ' free of
charge, hrings farmers and their
creditors together in an attempt tq
find a mutually acceptable solution
of their difficulties. The service is
available *o ,any farmer, or his
creditor, on request, according to
Mr. Ommodt, whose headquarters
are at Thief River Falls.
SPORTS EDITOR ST. PAUL ■ DISPATCH-PIONEER PRESS
TEAMS FROM FOURTEEN CITIES OF THE UNITED
States and Canada will take part in the first squuad of the
American Bowling' Congress tournament in St. Paul March 13.
Flin Flon, Manitoba is sending two teams for this opening
squad. They will travel almost 1,000 miles to compete.
When the Flin Flon entries came to the home offices of
the A. B. C. at Milwaukee the town could not be located on
available maps, although a saHroad time-table disclosed its
approximate position.
Flin Flon is a town of 9,000 population, hard by the
sixtieth meridian, 574 miles north of Winnipeg 1 and 92
miles beyond that magical town of The Fas.
Twelve years ago it wqs a little copper and zinc mining
town but today it is a modern city with telephone exchange,
radio station, train, airplane and telegraph service. In addi-
tion to its mining activities it is a tourist, fishing and hunting
paradise.
The bowlers there compete in five leagues at the Elks
club alleys. To prove that it is up to date it even has a ,
women's bowling league.
A. C. Ball, recreational director of the Elks club, is an
old A. B. C. competitor, having bowled in the 1920, 1923 and
1924 tournaments. His all event scores in these three affairs
were 1,761, 1,714 and 1,739 for a 193 average. j#
In 1929 he received a silver medal from the congress Jfji
for a 299 game bowled in a Regina; Sasku, league. ^
Flin Flon, which means "the friendly north," establishes |
the record of being the city farthest north to enter a team
in the A. B. C, Edmonton, Alberta, having been the former ■;
record holder. '[
The following is a list of towns with teams on the \
opening squad: i
Marine City, Ishpeming, Marquette, Michigan; Woodruff, ■:
Wisconsin Rapids, LaCrosse, Wisconsin; South Bend, East ;
Chicago, Indiana; Sioux City, * Dubuque, Iowa; Rochester. .

.With heavy snow blanketing Min-
nesota lakes on the heels of an
early freezeup, the Department of
Conservation, this week prepared to
cope with ah above-average. winter
fish kill in many shallow heavily-
vegetated waters.
Fatal oxygen 'shortages have al-
ready been reported ifrom a few
lakes. Conditions are expected to
become aggravated with additional
snow as the winter progresses. "
Fish rescue coerations will be
carried on by the Department where
practical in, the most critical wat-
ers. The remedy of restocking will
be applied to winter-killEd lakes
next spring
Department technicians pointed
out that lakes froze over unusually
early last fall, thus subjecting fish
life to many more weeks of life
beneath the ice. In many areas the
heavy snowfall followed quickly.
Snow on lakes. shuts off light rays
which would otherwise penetrate
the ice. This -light releases oxygen
from plant'life- into the lake .water.
Most lakes affected- toy -winter
kill, the Department disclosed, are
shallow waters with decaying vege-
tation that demands oxygen in the
process of oxidation. With snow de-
nying the sunlight necessary to the
release of new supplies, fish life
suffers.

Outline Work For '41
Women's Extension Project Leader
Will Conduct Series Of Three
Training' Meetings
Postponement of the annual Farm
Bureau meeting scheduled' for last
Friday was necessary because of
the bad .weather and blocked roads.
Only about 'thirty people found it
possible to attend the meeting. R.
J. McKercher reports that it was
decided to hold the meeting this
coming Saturday afternoon at the
Civic & Commerce room, at the
Thief River Falls Auditorium, "at
12:30 p. m.
E. L. Freeman, superintendent of
the Minn-Kata Power Assn. at
Grand Forks has been engaged as
the soeaker for the meeting next
Saturday. Mr. Freeman will un-
doubtedly conduct a discussion that
will be of much interest to the
Pennington County people, as the
plans are that the local REA lines
will be energised from the Grand
Forks plant. In addition, a good
program and lunch is assured the
members.
The program did go on last Fri-
day despite the rather small turn-
out. Carl A ash, county agent from
Polk county, presented a 'number
of interesting observations relating
to the outlook for farming in the
next few years. He pointed out the
position of this country as far as
foreign trade is concerned during
the war that is underway, and also
following the war. Farm products
of which there is a large surplus
raised in this country, such as
wheat, cotton and fruits, face a
gloomy situation unless there is a
readjustment in production in cer-
tain areas" of the country. The out-
look for dairy, livestock, and poul-
try .products, however, is somewhat
favorable in view of an increased
domestic market due to the defense
program in this country- Ash fur-
ther pointed out that he didn't ex-
pect any price ' boom during the
war, that higher taxes .were in
store, and that farmers should li-
quidate Their debts just as fast as
posible durhig the period of fav-
orable prices because following the
war another depression is in view.
Death came very unexpectedly to
another of Thief River Falls en-
terprising and progressive-business-
men ea/ly Friday, as Charles Lieb-
erman suffered a heart attack lats
Thursday evening and passed away
a few hours later, death coming at
about 2 o'clock Friday morning.
Mr. Lieberman was stricken while
at the. Masonic club rooms. Medical
aid was summoned immediately and
he was taken to a local hospital.
However, he failed to regain con-
sciousness before he passed on.
The remains were laid in state
at the Larson Funeral Home Sat-
urday afternoon and following this
were taken to Duluth, his former
home, where burial services were
conducted at a chapel there Sun-
day afternoon.
Mr. Lieberman was born near
Kovno, Lithuania, March 9, 1884.
He emigrated to this country in
1901. ■ coming first to New York
City where, he was employed for
several months. Later he came to"
Duluth where he was employed in
the trade that became his pro-
fession, that of haberdasher and
tailor. He spent several years pn
the West Coast and later conducted
a store at Bovey, this state. In 1913
he located in this city where he
became well and favorably known,
having one of the largest and fin-
est men's clothing stores in North-
western Minnesota. He constructed
a large, fine modern building two
years ago which is evidence of his
belief in the future of this .city
He was a member of the Mason-
ic, Elks and- Odd Fellows lodges
and an 'active person in the affairs
of the Civic Ss Commerce associ-
ation. |
He married Miss Frieda Dick, on
Aug. 16, 1910, -at Duluth. To- this
union were born one son, Sidney,
and a daughter Leonora, both of
whom survive him along with their
mother. Sidney, ,who has been as-
sistant manager at the store, was
pursuing his third year studies at
our State University at the time
of his fathers' death.; Miss Leonora,
who arrived at Duluth for the bur-
ial services, is s, librarian at the
Farm Credit department at Wash-
ington, D. C.
E. O. Peterson was advanced
from vice president and cashier to
president at the annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Union State
bank Tuesday. Mr. Peterson's re-
port on the business of the insti-
tution in 1940 disclosed that It was
the best of any since the organi-
zation of the bank.
Harry Brumund was elected vice
president; Archie W. Hensrua was
promoted from, assistant cashier to
cashier.. Rueben G. Johnson and
Miss Laura Lund were named assis-
tant cashiers. The members of the
board of directors were reelected.
Two Bemidji Youths
Sentenced To State
School For Car Theft
Two CBemidji youths, one 13 years
and the other 14 years, were sen-
tenced to the State Training School
at Red Wing Saturday at a hearing
here in the juvenile court. The two
young culprits had stolen several
cars, having been .' apprehended

Dec. 27, and gone to ' visit some
relatives east of Grygla. (Near that
village on Saturday. Dec. 28, they
ran out of gas. Then they stole a
car belonging to Leo Svendpladsen.
This car was damaged and aban-
doned at a farm near Grygla. Fol-
lowing this they stole t-he Carl Hol-
th,usen car from the streets at
Grygla and drove to this city that
night.
As they became short of gasoline
h»re they entered the Ford Agen-
cy's used car lot and drove off with
that. But it was abandoned at tne
north end of town and the A. E.
Mattson Nash car was taken in
place of it. This car was driven to
the Carmel store east of Grygla
where the young culprits were ap-
prehended and held until Sheriff
Rambeck took them into custody.
In Judge Bottelson's court Satur-
day they were" sentenced to the
state training school to remain
there until they're of age or paroled
previously.. If theix. conduct warrants
it.''
It is reported that their parents
are WPA clients at Bemidji.

Departing Men Will Be
Honored At Special
Banquet
Eight volunteers will leave Jan.
20 for Fort Snelhug from Penning-
ton county to lili tHe January draft
call from the federal offices In St.-

listed men than the necessary
number of draftees required for

part Jan. .20 are:Orrin Brandon,
Emil Luther Horejsh, Robert Haney,
Truman Reiersgaard, Orvllle John-,
son and Robert Elofson, Jr., all of
this city, and Gerhard Wilson, of
Hazel, and Stanley Sklblcki, of
Goodridge.
■Miss Louise LaBree,. the county
draft board clerk, states that ten
additional, volunteers have enrolled
their names with the bcaTd for the
future calls for trainees.. Thus it
is anticipated that no one will have
to be drafted for several months.
No statement has been made as to
when the next call may come nor
the quota.
At the present no added number
of questionnaires will be sent out
to registered men in this county,
Miss LaBree stated. A total of 500-
questionnaires was sent out last
fall.

Angus Farmer Held On
Charge For Failure To

William Kucera, 33$year-old far-

pleaded guilty in federal district
court at Fergus Falls Wednesday
to a charge of failing to register
for the draft. Judge Robert C. Bel-
referred the case to the probation
office for investigation and defer-
red sentence until Friday.
Kucera declined to plead to the
charge and Judge Bgll permitted
him to go to the draft .board office
for belated registering.
Kucera told the- court he had
had little schooling and did not
understand the draft regulations.
Recently he appeared at the office
of Polk county draft board No. 1
in East Grand Forks but the board
was without authority to register
him because the time limit had ex-

State Legislature Opens 1941
Session At Capitol Tuesday
The 1941 session of the state leg-
islature got under way at the state
capitol in' St. Paul Tuesday neon.
While the conservatives are in a
clear majority -and indications are
that Gov. Stassen's program may
be enacted as supplementary to the
1E39 program, there are indications
that hitches may develop on minor
matters.
The governor's messas**was given
in person before the assembled
members of the two houses Wed-
nesday noon. It stressed coopera-
tion between the state and federal
governments to the extent of fur-
thering defense preparations.
Eruptions in the harmony' at the
capitol may come in the matter
of confirming some of the 88 ap-
pointments Gov. Stassen has made
to important state, positions. The
Rockwell case envolving the state
board of education is another mat-
ter, also Stassen's proposal to begin
a state housing" project, which lib-
erals have sought for years to enact
in conjunction with the -federal
housing program. !

WARREN LAWYER
IS\APPOINTED AS
DISTRICT JUDGE
New judicial Officer Was Reared
Near Warren; Court Chambers
\ Will , Be t Moved To Warren
Shortly 1 before we went to press
last week we received a report that
Oscar Knutson, Warren attorney,
had received the appointment as
district judge and this report was
later confirmed with the official
announcement by Gov. Stassen. The
official announcement was" made
Thursday morning but was not re-
ceived here until later in the day.
Mr. Knutson succeeds the late
Judge M. A. Brattland who passed
away recently.
The new judge plans to establish
his offices in the "Warren court
house thus moving the court cham-
bers from thiSydty .where they have
been looated during the Brattland
tenure. .
Judge) Knutson has been practic-
ing law in Warren since 1927 when
he became associated in the law
office of Julius* J. Olson, now as^
sociate justice on the Minnesota
supreme court. He has been active
in legal circles in this section of
the' state and is a .past president
of the fourteenth Judicial Bar as-
sociation. He also was active in
local affairs and at the time of his
appointment was mayor of Warren.
He was born at Superior, Wis.,
42 years ago where he received his
preliminary education. Shortly after
his parents moved to a farm in
McCrea township. Marshall county,
he entered the .Northwest School
of Agriculture at Crookston and
later also attended the Warren high
school from ■•which he graduated
in 1920. Later he attended St. Olaf
College lor one year before enter-
ing the University of Minnesota
from which he graduated In 1927.
He- is married and has three chil-
dren.
In the announcement of his ap-
pointment Gov. Stassen revealed
that Mr. Knutson was -high man
in the plebiscite held among the
lawyers of the district bar associ-
ation. Theodore Quale of this city
was second", and Wm. L. Peterson
of Lancaster third.
Louis Benson, -a brother of for-
mer Gov. Elmer Benson, will head
the Farmer-Laborites m the Ninth.
District during 1941. Mr. Benson,
who hails from Mcorhead, was
elected district chairman at the
annual convention held at Mahno-
men Tuesday.
' The party went on record as op-
posing fusion with the Democrats,
a resolution to this effect stating
that while the Democratic party is
progressive under the leadership of
President Roosevelt there are other
prominent leaders of that party
who are conservative, and who may
at some future time again control
the party.
H. O. Berve, attorney of this city,,
was elected permanent chairman, of
the convention and Mrs. Laura
Naplin, also of this city, was elect-
ed convention secretary. The con-
vention opened at 10:00 a. m. and.
came to a close at about 5:00 p. m.
Dr. C. J. Larson of Bemidji was
elected vice chairman and Halvor
Langslett of Detroit Lakes was re-
elected secretary- treasurer. Benny
Brandt of Roseau and Emil Preste-
moen of Bagley were elected state

Pres ident Delivers "State Of
Nation" Speech On Monday
President Roosevelt Monday af-
ternoon made his first speech to
the new congress on the state of
the nation, stressing the need of
immediate and faster action for
defense and armament production
and appealed for widespread per-
sonal sacrifices, in a national ef-
fort to defeat the Axis powers lest
they win abroad and then attack
the Americas.
After a few preliminary para-
graphs he swung emphatically into
the main theme of his message
that the "aggressors" were still on
the march, the "democratic way"
was under attack the world over,
16 months of war had blotted out
democracy in "an appalling num-
ber of independent nations, great
and small," and:
"Therefore, I find it unhappily
necesary to report that the future
and the safety of our country and
of our democracy are overwhelm-
ingly involved in events far beyond
our borders."
"That is why the future of all
American republics is today in ser-
ious danger."
Quickly, then, he swung into an
enunciation of three basic points
of "national policy":
"First, by an impressive expres-
sion of the public will and without
regard to partisanship, we are ccm-
mitted to all-inclusive national de-
fense.
"Second, we are committee to full

him free.
The method used is simple. Under existing regu-
lations, the country of original transmission retains
the fees for delivery, and the country where inter-
national mail is finally distributed makes the de-
livery free of charge. So the Nazi government mere-
ly turns out the required stamps, attaches them to
any propaganda it wishes to distribute in America,
and starts it on the Journey to this country. Uncle
Sam handles the mail free once it gets to America.
The German propaganda ministry has compiled
a huge mailing list of Germ an -Americans living In
'he United States. Each one on the list is subjected
to a constant bombardment of propaganda printed
in both English and German. Many receive bundles
of fifty or more for distribution among Americans
who are not on the regular mailing list.
The system is so designed that few German-
Americans can get awayi from constant reminders
that 1 they are of German extraction and should re-
main loyal to the Nazi form of government. Because
there is no American- censorship, much of the ma-
terial contains attacks against the President, the
United States system of government, the American
press, capital, the Jews, and other groups— and the
United States ; .foots the distribution bill.

much of the country is rough and mountainous.
This makes the road particularly hard to bomb.

■ The Wall' Street Journal believes
that "any effort to apply taxation
to outstanding exempt issues (se-
curities would constitute an im-
moral if not an illegal act on the
part of the government."
Wall Street's Program
Revealed By Dr. Anderson
Dr. Benjamin M. Anderson, pro-
fessor of economics at the Univer-
sity of California, economist of the
Capital Research Co. and former
economist for the Chase (Morgan)
National Bank, can always be de-
pended upon to speak the mind of
Wall street. At this time, when a
new Congress is to assemble, his
views as to what this Congress
ought to do is of special interest,
since many of the boys on Capitol
Hill will be plugging for these views.
Dr. Anderson's recommendations,
as printed In the Pacific Coast Wall
Street Journal, are:
Reorganization of the tax struc-
ture by broadening the income tax
base through lowering of exemp-
tions; increase of income levies in
the lower brackets; lowering of the
gates are opened to war profiteer-
ing, if ;taxes are cut down so that
we can hog most of the easy prof-
its, if the bulk of the defense costs
is placed on the frail shoulders of
the little fellow, and if the worker
is given a sock on the head with
blunt instrument — a sock hard
enough to stun him but not hard
enough to put him out of condi-
tion so that he cannot work."
Some day the people are going to
-and speak the President's mind— better than Harry
Hopkins, who has been living under the White House
roof for many months. There is nobody whom the
President would batter trust with a most delicate
mission. That he is making the trip despite the con-
dition of his health emphasizes its importance. He
will be a Colonel House plus. Incidentally, the Ad
ministration's "lease-loan" plan to aid Britain *■
thought to be Hopkin's "brain-child."
YOUR RADIO PROGRAM CHANGES

Foreclosures by Federal land
banks during the first nine months
of 1940 totalled 6,414, as contrasted
with 14,629 for the same period in

Farm Credit Administration reveal-
ed last week.

Aicnbugh Knudsen and the other
members of the new defense set-up

they how have, it is to be noted
that the President is not delegating

STATE'S DEFICIT DOUBLES IN PAST YEAR
In spite of all the talk made by leaders of

being made in the conduct of the affairs of Minne-
sota, more and more the fact leaks out that
state indebtedness and the state deficit is lncreasuij
says the Mille Lacs County Times. The deficit, m

according to the following editorial in the St. faul

Early revision of the Wage-Hour
Act, "the most dangerous single
piece of New Deal legislation," par-
ticularly abolition of the time and
a half feature for overtime.
Reorganization of the Federal
tax structure along the above lines,
says Dr. Anderson, would "spur
private capital into action to aid in
the defense .program, .encourage
those with money to put it to work
in industry— and bring a quick mo-
bilization of American industry for
war purposes." He says that "this
is no time to worry about making
millionaires out of the war." He
does worry, however, it seems, that

Hillman Given Increased Power
Sidney Hillman, labor commis-
sioner of the National Defense Ad-
visory Commission, wU have much .
greater power than he now has in
the capacity of associate director
with Knudsen of the Office of
Production Management.
The fact that Hillman accepted
the responsibilities of the new po-
sition: is accepted as proof that the
Administration has promised not to
let him down on matters of labor
policies. Hillman knows that if he
will be unable to protect labor's
land bank loans increased mar
than 22 per cent in the 12-month
period ending Sept. 30, 1940— but
rather to the policy of leniency
adopted by the FCA since this for-
mer independent agency was plac-
ed under the Department of Agri-
culture.
Under its set-up as an independ-
ent agency, the big .bankers, from
behind the. scenes, largely controlled
the policies of the FCA. Thus its
policies were made to conform with
bankers' policies, which included
ready foreclosures in order to take
possession of farm lands during a
period of rise in farm land values.
A Pointed Answer ,
Rep. Clare Hoffman, Michigan:
(on the House Floor) "What reme-
dy does the gentleman have in
mind which would give the farmer,
say, 25 cents an hour for his work
while he is forced to pay $1.00 or
$1.10 an hour for the pommon la-
bor that goes into the things he
must purchase?"
Rep. Jerry Voorhis, California:
"I may say that agriculture is a
competitive industry- Many of the
things that the farmer buys come
from monopoly industries where the
price is determined by the seller.
The farmer by and large cannot
determine his prices."

A great deal of talent is lost in the world for
want of a little courage. Every day sends to their
graves obscure men whom timidity prevented from
making a first effort: who. if they could hav>£een
Induced to begin, would, in all probability, have gone
great lengths in the career of fame.
The fact is, that to do anything in the world
worth doing, we must not stand back shivering arid
thinking of the cold danger, but we must jump in
and scramble through as well as we can. It will not-
do to be perpetually calculating risks and adjusting
nice chances ... a man waits, and doubts, and con-
sults his brother, and his particular friends, till one
day he finds that he is sixty years old, and that
he has lost so much time in consulting relatives that
he has had no time to 'follow their advice.— Sidney

The so-called Associated Farmers of California
raged against the 1803 j"day of rest law" at their
recent annual convention at Fresno, California. This
group, headed by banking, canning, and landholding
overlords, spent most of their time inveighing against

the farm laborers having one day off a week.

Yanks Are Not Coming."
White's [committee numbers am-
ong Its members some of the most
socially elite of the county, people
whose - love for British democracy
stems in part from the fine tailor-
ing of Bond Street and Saville Row.
"The Yanks Are Not Coming" is
the title of a pamphlet put out by
west coast maritime workers whose
leader is Harry Bridges, a man the
head of the FBI definitely does not
like.
Rep. Martin Dies who also has
a committee, hot long ago said "The
Yanks Are Not Coming" is a sub-
versive, uriamerican slogan. He im-
plied that anyone using it was an
unamerican from head to foot.
Now William Allen White and his
well-heeled (in more ways than
one) committee says that if they
were going to have a slogan it would
be the slogan devised by the mari-
time workers for all workers.
Perhaps the Kansas editor has
decided that Inasmuch as he can't
lick 'em he'll jlne 'em, a policy that
has had ardent supporters for some
time.* !
And just to show what this in-
dicates atiout the pace of events, it-
might be I recalled that it was not
until recently that 18 of the 20
immediate demands made by the
Socialist Party under Eugene Debs
at Indianapolis in. 1912 became the
law of the land sanctioned by the
supreme court.
The White committee, incidental-
ly, could do a lot worse than spend-
ing a little of the energy of sonm
of its southern talent on a letter
sent by |the Southern Conference
for Human Welfare to President
Roosevelt. ,
The letter charges! that during
the past several weeks 'a systematic
campaign of intimidation has been
waged agahist the Negroes of -Mem-
phis because some of the Negro
leaders of Memphis dared to vote
{or a presidential candidate other
than the 'one dictated by Memphis'
Boss Ed Crump.
The .police, the letter charged,
stationed 'men in front of the busi-
ness establishment of Dr. J. B.
Martin and searched prospective
customers. Police commissioner Joe
Boyle threatened to run a number
of prominent Negro leaders out of
town and has harassed editors of
Negro newspapers.
Leaders of an inter-racial relig-
ious conference decided to cancel
a meeting scheduled for Memphis
Dec. 27-31 because of "reliable evi-
dence that a build-up is being made
for a rate riot to intimidate the
Negro population and to discredit
and terrorize the groups doing con-
structive jwork, especially the CIO.''
"Mr. Crump," the letter states,
is apparentlyVearful that the abo-
lition of the poll tax system in the
south will bring a measure of free-
dom andi independence to the citi-
zens of Memphis and make it more
difficult for his machine to attempt
to herd the voters to the polls to
vote for his candidates.
"He is' evidently determined to
stamp out any movement for in-
dependence In Memphis."
The Southern Conference for
Humane | Welfare, it will be recall-
ed, was organized in Birmingham,
Ala., in 11938 after Mrs. Franklin
D. Roosevelt, University of North
Carolina! Pres. Frank P. Graham,
San Antonio's Mayor Maury Mav-
erick, arid others came to a con-
ference and participated in the for-
mation of the organization.
They're saying that the appoint-
ment of Lord Halifax, British for-
eign minister, as ambassador to the.
U. S. is merely a device to get Hal-
ifax but of the cabinet and the
country, in the same way that our
appointment of Joseph P. Kennedy
as ambassador to Great Britain
was for a similar purpose.
Halifax, formerly one of the lead-
ing men of Munich, is an extreme-
ly pious gentleman . and Washing-
ton society faces the prospect of
intensified church-gcing.

the AFT said: "We urge all edu-

"Such a body cannot be expected

allow superintendents, boards of
education and other school author-

RURAL AJilERICA LIGHTS UP
By Harry Slattery
Price 25c
Can be bought from National
Heme Library Foundation, Wash-
ington, D. C.
How electricity in rural areas is
making an important contribution
to the national defense program is
dramatically told in the first his-
tory of rural electrification to be
written — 'Rural America Lights Up'
by Harry Slattery, Administrator,
Rural Electrification Administra-
tor.
The author, capable and popular
chief of the rural program that
now serves over a million American
farms traces the phenomenal
growth of electrical development
from 1910 to the present, and shows
how in the past five years more
American farms have been electri-
fied than during the previous 50
years.
'Rural America Lights Up' tells
how rural electrification new sup-
plies power to 115 different indus-
tries engaged in the defense, pro-
gram throughout the country: also,
how it has helped introduce labor-
saving equipment to all the sec-
tions it serves.
The author writes that 90 per
cent of REA self liquidating loans
are made to cooperatives or other
ncn-.profit organizations, and that
as of October 1, 1940, leans had
totaled S621.306.114.
Farm electric rates have been re-
duced from an overall average rats
of 18c per kwh in the period from
1910 to 1923 to 9c per kwh during
the second period from 1923 to 1935
-to 4!£ cents per kwh at pressnt.
Lower costs of all materials used
in rural distribution lines made pos-
sible .by large purchases and im-
proved engineering processes are
credited with being the determin-
ing factor in bringing costs of ener-
gy down.
Further lowering of cos's is made
possible by "self-help" cooperatives
whose members, at their own option -
supply much of the labor, -under
proper supervision for building the
lines. Tn some instances these mem-
bers cut the poles from native tim-
ber and treat them in their own
plants. The money thus earned by
the cooperative members is used for ''
wiring their homes and ourchasing
appliances. These members, too,
make group purchases of applianc-
es resulting in savings of frcm 25
to 40 per cent.
Pointing out how '"REA demon-
strates the functioning of the dem-
ocratic process" Mr. Slattery said:
"The very method by which electric
cooperatives are organized and
managed manifests true democracy
at work and stimulates the fcourag?
to make it work. Millions of .men,
wemen and young people are being
educated and trained in the appli-
cation of democratic principles to
industry and finance. REA has it> \
part to ulay in arresting rural de- |
clint and restoring farm life to the
vigor it possessed when the_ nation ■,
was young." ">

ator George W. Norris of Nebraska. !

Roosevelt, the passage of the peace

appropriations made for defense, on
the home front: with the ifall oi
Norway, Denmark, Holland, Bel-
gium and France, on the interna-

standing political events of 1940,"
declares Howard Y. Williams of St.

eration, in his annual political re-
view released today.
"No year since the World War
has been as full of significance as
the year just closed. Here in Am-
erica the re-election of President
Roosevelt was the voice of the Am-
erican people saying, 'No!' to the
effort - of Big Business to put its
heel once again on the neck of the
workers and farmers. On the credit
side of the ledger must also be
nlaced the defeat of reactionary
Senators Burke, Holt and King and
Congressman Barton. Rcutzohn
and Thorkelson, the veto jof the
Walter-Logan bill, the failure to
weaken the National Labor Rela-
tions Law, the tolerant treatment
of conscientious objectors, the elec-
tion of Phillip Murray as president
of the CIO, the interest taken in
the exploited share-croppers thru
public hearings by Congress and the
filming of "The Grapes of Wrath",
-and the will of the American peo-
ple to give all possible aid to Eng-
land but to keep out of war.

Smoker Causes Most
Damage In Forest jFires
The careless smoker and the
thoughtless meadow burner were
indicated as the greatest offenders
against Minnesota's forest resourc-
es this week. |
A survey by the Division \of For-
estry disclosed that of 996 forest
fires recorded during 1940, kmokers
started 266 and careless meadow
burning was the cause of 283.
Lightning, frequently blamed for
most forest fires, accounted for onh
nine blazes totalling 12 acres. Land
clearing was the third rpost dam-
aging factcr with statistics showing
that burning for-this purpose start-
ed 133 fires. -

planned kitchen garden— a very-
Important part of the home plan-
not onlv yields plenty of fresh veg-
etables from spring to late sum-
mer," Miss Olson said, "but also
provides those vitamins and min-
erals which everyone, especially
growing children, needs during the
winter for building up resistance,
and general good health."
The yearly household budget in-
cludes plenty of milk for the chil-
dren and grown-ups, and a supply
of meats such as home-preserved
pork, lamb, beef and poultry. "After
all," remarked Miss Olson, "it seems
rather foolish to sell one's produce
and then buy it back at a retail
price. Isn't a farmer's best market
his own dinner table?"
The home plan is tied in .with
a farm plan, which is worked out
by the farmer with the aid and de-
vice of the FSA county supervisor.
The farm plan makes for improved
farm practices, and includes the
raising of calves, pigs and chickens,
and feed for the livestock. Much-
needed cash is thus released for the
purchase of necessities such a;
clothing, medical care, or a pres-
sure cooker for efficient canning,
and repayment of the loan which
accompanies the farm and home
plan.
"Long-term loans for the pur-
chase of seed, fertilizer, and oper-
ating equipment are made by the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
j through the Farm Security Admin-
istration, to deserving, low-income
I farmers who can't get credit else-
where,'! explained Miss Olson. "The
borrower offers as his chief secur-
ity his and his family's absolute
willingness and ability to carry out
the farm and home plans, the pur-
pose of which is to reestablish tne
family on a self-supporting, inde T
pendent basis. No loan is made till
its expenditure is carefully .plan-
ned."
Miss Olson stressed the import-
ance of planning ahead during the
winter months, instead of .waiting
until the spring rush of applica-
tions for FSA loans. Farmers in
need of financial assistance in Pen-
nington and Marshall Counties get
in touch -with the Farm Security
Administration Supervisor, Mr. C.
Ommodt, in the PSA office located
at Thief River Falls.
Carrying out conservation prac-
tices on over 3 million acres of
farmland, aid to farmers in secur-
ing their fair share of the national
income to the extent of $24,886,760
in conservation and parity pay-
ments, and the stabilization^ and
maintenance of adequate food sup-
plies for consumers through an
Ever Normal granary filled with
53,400,000 bushels of corn, wheat,
barfsy and ryer highlighted the 1940
Agricultural Conservation Program
in Minnesota.
Realizing that future food sup-
plies must come from fertile soil,
farmers of Minnesota entered the
spirit of national defense by assur-
ing future production on more than
3 million acres of farmland.
New seedings of perennial and
biennial legumes antL^eFennial
grasses were reported on hear!
9DO.0O0 acres. More than 21,000 afcres
of green manure crops were plant-
ed. Small grain was seeded on |he.
contour on over 10,000 acres and
nearly the same acreage was strip-
cronped. Contour furrows were re-
ported on an additional 10,000 acres
of apsture lanfd.
A total of 412,000 pounds of ad-
apted pasture grass seed was plant-
ed on depleted pastures, as well as
04,000 pounds of timothy and red-
top and mixtures of the two.
Future supplies of lumber so
sorely needed in national defense
were safeguarded on more than
53,000 acres of wocdlots and for-
ests. Seme 40,350. acres of forests
were improved by farmers carrying
out good forest conservation prac-
tices, while an additional 13,503
acres of woodlots were fenced off
from grazing by livestock.
In addition, -5,067 acres of forest
trees were planted under the 1940
South St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 7,
1941: Slaughter steers were under
pressure during the first two days
of the week, and despite light sup-
plies buyers were able to effect a
saving in extremes of 25c as com-
pared with, "the close of last week.
The market was uneven, however,

at $6.20, a few late sales at $6.00
and $6.10.
Slight additional price strength
was shown on fed lambs, with gains
of as much as 15c recorded. Year-
lings shared in this advance. Other
slaughter classes were taken at a
steady level. Western fed lambs pre-
dominated in. the crop. Montana

ly from $9.50-9.65, largely at $9.65,
which is also the weeks' tcp to date.

Cramming an hour and a half
of gav entertainment Into its bub-
bling" length, "Too Many Girls"
presents to film-goers at the Ava-
lon Theatre Sunday and Monday, a
streamlined screen version of the
famous Broadway musical hit of
the same name in what is hailed
as the top fflmusical offering of the
year.
The picture features Lucille Ball,
Richard Carlson, Ann Miller, Eddie
Bracken, Frances Langford, the Cu-
ban sensation, Desi Arnaz, and Hal
LeRoy. Bracken, Arnaz and LeRoy
are among the many personalities
transferred from the cast of the
stage production to the screen ver-
sion.
Eight of the most popular of the
show's hit songs and a series of its
spectacular dances enliven the film,
with added features galore.
The plot deals with a madcap
heiress and her four-man body-
guard, a quartet of all -American
football stars who are keeping un-
der cover after being hired by the
girl's father to keep her out of
trouble while she attends his old
alma mater, Pottawatomie College,
at Stop Gop, New Mexico.
The girl's real reason for going
to the institution is that a British
author of whom she is enamored
has a ranch nearby. Clint, the lea-
der of the bodyguard, interrupts
the meetings of the pair, and he
and trre girl speedily fall in love.
But an anti-romance clause in the
bodyguard contract prevents him
from telling her how he feels, and
Troubles Always
Come In Three's j
Misfortune in large doses has be-
fallen La Verne Moiison, 23 years
old of Wheaton, who. broke his
ri2ht arm when a reck hit a shovel
while he was working on a. dam
a few weeks ago. A shortfsimfe ago
lie slipped on the ice at Graceville,
and. unable to cussion his fall by
using his arm .which ■ was carried
in a sling, he cracked a leg in fall-
ing. Riding to "Wheaton later with
Miss Mildred Skoog of Graceville
to get medical attention, he receiv-
ed his third jolt -when the car in
which they were riding got out of
control on the ice and tipped on
its side in a four foot ditch, from
which, although unhurt, he found
it extremely difficult to extricate
himself with a broken arm and I
cracked, and as yet unattended, leg.
BOY, 14, HOOKS
NINE POUND PIKE
Gonrad Koch of near Alexandria
astounded the crappie and perch
fishermen on Smith Lake on a re-
cent Sunday as he pulled out a 9
pound wall-eye pike. No one on the
lake had had any particular amount
of luck during the afternoon with
no bag boasting more than a few
mall uerch or crappies when Con-
rad pulled out his whopper. For-
tunately, he had chopped a large
hole in the ice or he would not
have been able to pull the big fish
through the hole after it was on
the hook.
Approximately 37,000 tons of
lime, phosphate, potash and gyp-
sum were applied to farmlands de-
ficient in these minerals.
To assist farmers in carrying out
the various soil conservation prac-
tices, the government paid to Min-
nesotans some $19,000,000 in conser-
vation payments. Wheat parity pay-
ments totaled $1,694,541, while con.
parity payments were $4,192,219.
The conservation practices and
conservation and parity payments
were distributed over some 170,000
i farms in the state,
I Adequate food supplies are an
essential t>art of any Nation's na-
tional defense and Minnesota far-
mers did their part by. storing some
38,500.000 bushels of corn, wheat,
rye, and barley in granaries on the
farm, in -country elevators, and in
terminals in Duluth and the, Twin
Cities under the AAA loan pro-
gram. In addition, the Commodity
Credit Corporation has some 15,-
000,000 bushels of corn stored in
steel bins and country elevators
throughout the state's corn area.
This corn is under the supervision
of locally elected county commit-
teemen.
■ The lean value of grain under
seal and still owned by individual
farmers is in excess of $25,700,000,
while the corn held -by the CC'C is
valued at $9,750,000.
Controlled bv farmers are 10,014,-
479 bushels of wheat, 26,833,036 bu.
of 1938 and 1939 corn, 512,265 bu.
of rye, and 2.052,599 bu. of barley.
It is" the largest supply of grain for
any year in the state's history.
Although 1940 found cooperation
in the AAA the peak, to date, the
payments to individual farmers
were sent out from the state office
at the 'earliest date in the seven
years of AAA programs in Minne-
sota.
The smooth operation of the AAA
in Minnesota in 1940 can be attrib-
uted largely to a better understand-
ing of the nrcgram by farmers, and
to the excellent work turned in by
locallv .elected community and
county committeemen in charge of
AAA nrograms in the counties.
Besides handling all applications
for conservation and parity pay-
ments, and handling all papers
necessary to cbtain leans for better
than 53,000 applicants, county com-
mittees started a sales campaign
for wheat croo insurance which : .->
expected to' exceed 1940's 21.000 ap-
plications by several thousand.
Besides maintaining the fertility
of the soil and preventing erosion,
the conservation practices carried
but on 170,000 farms in the state
are proving very beneficial to wild-
life as a source of fcod and cover.
The 1940 program placed special
emphasis on conservation practices
that were beneficial to wildlife.
Some 164 tons of com, wheat.
barlev and rye. taken as samples
by the county AAA committees and
sent to the state office for grade
and moisture determination, were
turned over to the state Game &
Fish commission during 1940 for
wildlife feed.
In all. the 1940 AAA program
was the most successful to date in
Minnesota.
The livestock association of the
Red River Valley Winter Shews is f
turning oyer, the entire time of ' *
their program on the afternoon of ;
Wednesday, Feb. 5, for the discus-
sion of sheep }breeders' problems ;
and wool marketing. It will be an ;_
all-sheep day. '
The business session of the Min-
nesota Cocperative Wool Growers
Association will be held during the
morning starting at 10 a. m. The
Wool Growers Association luncheon
will be held at noon with the wool
growers combining with other live-
stock men for the afternoon pro-
gram.
President Conley of the Minne-
sota Cooperatu/e Wool Growers as-
sociation, in speaking about the
annual meeting, states that in ad-
dition to "the officers -who will pre-
sent reports at the business meet-
ing that speakers of national im-
portance in the wool marketing in-
dustry, such as James Lemmon of
Lemmon, S. D., president of the ,
National Wool Marketing associa-
tion, and Carl Nadasdy, manager
of the state association, Yvill be pre-
sent. -Mr. Conley states also "that
the Minnesota pool sold two mil-
lion pounds of wool last year and
that with the large central ware-
house at Wadena and a branch
warehouse in Minneapolis the "co-
op" will be able to handle five mil-
lion pounds of wool in 1941. The
i income producing central warehouse /
at Wadena, representing an invest-
ment of $15,000 has been able to
return a -profitable return on iff- ■
vestment and give the wool grow-
ers free storage. The central leca- -
tion of the Wadena warehouse on •
two federal, two state highways, and
with two railroad lines has helped .
greatly in keeping down the cost of
assembling the wool clip."
Officers of the association who
will be present for the meetings in-
clude President J. B. Conley of
Verndale; vice president, Frank. ,
White of Marshall; secretary, F. L.
French of Minneapolis; assistant
secretary, Ethel Gustafson of Wa-

Maple Lake Restoration
Project Is Progressing
The Maple lake restoration liro-
ject, largest Polk county WPA'un-
dcrtaking, is progressing and by
the middle of next summer water
will be flowing into the once popu-
lar lake. ;
The drainage ditch from Mapla
lake to Mitchell lake, which will
carry water to. restore Maple lake,
has been completed and an old dam
has been blown out- to make ,way
lor a new dam which will be con-
structed this winter.
From Badger lake to Poplar Like,
which will supply the water, all buc
one and three-fcurths of .1 niilo of
new excavation work -has be-^n fin-
ished. The remainder ca'.mot be
completed .this winter bc-cau:;;? cf
frost, but will be finished early :; :->::■
summer.
Construction of a diversion dam
at Poplar creek and a dam at 3ad-
£cy lake, as well as several culverts
and bridges, will be pushed a::- rap-
idly as ocssible.
DEER BEGINNING
TO BE A NUISANCE
Olaf Simonson of near Glenwood
has appealed to the Glenwood edi-
tor to get some relief from a herd
of about, thirty deer which he claims
are not only not unusual anymore,
but are getting to be downright j.
pests. According to him. they spend
their nights eating on his corn
and have already destroyed- a large
portion of the field.

trek along a trail of almost insur-
mountable odds to ultimate free-
dom is one of the most impressive
chapters in the growth of America.
Because cf the valiant battle they
fought to find a place where they
could live as they believed, much
has been written about them and
their leader, Brigham Young. This
eclorful chapter in early American
histarv is brought to the screen of
the Falls Theatre Saturday Mid-
night, Sunday, Monday and Tues-
day.
Steel-willed, a bom leader. Brig-
ham Young organized one of the
most astounding mass migrations
in history, 3.000 prairie schooners.
30.000 livestock, a whole, orderly
civilization uprcoted. 20,000 pioneer-
went on the move ..towards new
frontiers. Only the will of one man
held them together — that of Brig-
ham Young, who was to have 27
wives, build one of the worlds fa-
mous- cities and found a great
state.
The first year at Salt Lake was
one of desperate privation. Then, as
if the hardships they had endured
were not enough, millions of crick-
ets swarmed out o* the canyons
and attacked their fields. The Mor-
mons, realizing that they could nev-
er survive another winter of star-
vation, dug ditches,; set fires and
strove fishtily to destroy the new
enemy. ;
Brigham Young led the Mormons
in prayer! Soon the sky was black-
ened with thousands -of sea gu ll s,
sweeping in five hundred miles from
the Pacific Ocean to destroy the
crickets and preserve the pioneers'
:od supply. \y .
Tyrone Power was given tha im-
portant role of Jonathan Kent, the
Monncn sreut in "Erigham Young.'
Opposite him is beautiful Linda
Darnell as "the outsider." Twie£
denied success in Hollywood, Dsa^
Jagger had returned to the New
York stage where he had first made
his mark. Last season he portray-
ed Jesse James in ; the stage hit.
■■Missouri Legend." : Rugged, two
fisted, a capable a:tor, Jagger
seemed ideal for the role cf the
Mormon leader, and got it.

support of all those resolute peo-
ples, everywhere, whp are resisting
aggression and are thereby keeping
war away frcm our hemisphere. By
this support, we express our de-
termination that the Democratic
cause shall prevail; and we streng-
then the defense and security of
our own nation.
We are committed to the propo-
sition that principles of morality
and considerations for our own se-
curity will never permit lis to ac-
quiesce in a -peace dictated by the
aggressors and sponsored by ap-
peasers. We know that, enduring
peace cannot be bought at the cost
*oi other people's freedom."
To make the United States safe,
Mr. Roosevelt said, "the immediate
need is a swift and driving increase
in our armament production."
He reported that he was not
■'satisfied with the progress thus
far made" and neither were the
men he has put in charge of the
program.
"None of us will be satisfied until
the job is done," he declared.
' All current domestic prcbl?ms.
the president said, are linked to
th? emergency.
'These who man pur defenses,

State Legislature Opens
1941 Session Tuesday
(Continued Prom Page One)
named clerk of the senate, succeed-
ing G. H. Spaeth, present tax com-
missioner. CV Elmer Anderson, the
lieutenant governor, presides over
the senate.
In his address, Stassen cited the
contrast between the peace of Am-
erica and the war-torn nations of
Europe, citing the difference be-
tween the scene before him and
the scene in capitols of totalitarian
nations.
As had been anticipated, Gover-
nor Stassen made plain to the leg-
islators — and to the people listening
in on the radio hookup — his feeling
that the legislative program of 1939
and his administration of the laws
enacted under that program had
been a success.
In the line of new legislation, his
principal recommendation was for
housing laws. He urged expenditure
of $1,000,000 to start with, maintain-
ing people in low income and relief
groups were compelled to live in
hemes inadequate in almost every
respect.
He urged a program for the wel-
fare of children and asserted that
the state 4s operating on a balanc-
ed budget, with $10,781,000 less state
indebtedness than two years ano.
A significant feature of his mes-
sage was his advocacy of "thorough
reorganization" of the depart-
ment of education. This came in
the midst of the heated controversy
raging over dismissal by the board
of education of Dr. John G. Rock-
well, state education commissioner,
The governor stood back of the
labor relations act, ; recited what
had been done under it in concili-
ating labor troubles. ■
He claimed 60,000 employees had
been added to private industry's
payroll in the state under the pol-
icy of encouraging business.
Stassen declared the civil service
act had proved successful and that
much had been saved through
more economical administration of
the state government under the
reorganisation act.
He defended the homestead lien
law, said not a foreclosure had re-
sulted under it but that it prevent-
ed shirking of- responsibility by un-
scrupulous children. The governor
recommended waiving the law
where children could show they
were unable to lielp support aged
parents. ■ !

it was revealed Wednesday.
A circular letter was set out by
the executive committee of the
state council of school executives.
asking members, if willing, to come
to the aid of the school board with
expressions of confidence or "facts
bearing upon the present situation."
The letter states: "It goes with-
cut saying that if you feel Dr. Rock-
well is being persecuted or. Seated
unjustly, or if you have facts bear-
ing upon the situation to establish
the efficiency of Dr. Rockwell's ad-
ministration, you are equally urged
to state such opinion and present
such facts to the board or to Dr.
Rockwell."

iod and: put the game "on ice" by

lier defeat. The local boys had a

al setto that sent the tally up to
12-6 for the local skaters.
McMillan again starred for the
Thieves, getting four goals. Kornek
followed close behind as he tallied
three points; Popiel and Beverly
followed with two each, and Gray
one.
Taylor led the Pirates in the
scoring, getting three tallies, Le-
Doux scored twice and Julien once.
, The Thieves continue to lead the
Stains Dominion league with seven
wins and one loss; Grafton follows
in order with five -wins and three
losses, Crookston third with four
wins and six losses, and Fargo-
Moorhead occupying the cellar po-
sition with two .wins and eight
losses. I
The Prowler basketball team
added two more victories -„o its
standing the past -week, the wins
being over | the two quints met on
the week jend trip to the Iron
Range. George Lee's team at Eve-
leth was taken into camp on Friday
evening by the score of 43-32 and
Grand Rapids was given a set-back
Saturday evening by the count of
25-23.
■ On Friday evening this week the
Prowlers go to Crookston where
.they play, [the Pirates In what is
expected to be the game that will
test the two strongest aggregations
in the 31st District. Crookston de-
feated Fosston 23-22 (before the
holidays to show its strength as
greater than the Undymen who
defeated the Fosston team 21-19.
There is a possibility that Russell
Garness, the new Prowler center,
standing 6 >ft. 2 in. may be in action
against the Pirates.
The Prowlers took an early lea'd
over Geo. Lee's Golden Maroons
at Eveleth Friday. Lindenmeyer's
boys took la 15-6 lead at the end
of the first quarter and had a 32-22
stand-off at half-time.
Flasch was again the spark for
the Prowlers, scoring seven field
goals and! the same number of
points from the free throw -line.
Berg. Althoff, and Parbst also add-
ed a good lot of points for the
local team. Coldagelli, a Golden
Maroon forward, was the top scor-
er on Coach Lee's squad, getting
six field goals and one gift shot.

Club News
The girls club, formerly called
the Wo-He-Lo club, has a new
name. Because the former name
was found to be the watchword for
another organization, the girls se-
lected Triple L's as their new name.
The club has as its purpose good
citizenship, brought about by whole-
some social contacts. Last Monday
night the group got together for a
business meeting. Three new mem-
bers entered the club. They are
Goldie Hastenet, Esther Bradley
and Grace Forsberg. Plans for a
future fiesta were also discussed.
This will be held in the arena on
January 20.

FARM FACTS
Here's the dope from the econo-
mists who have been studying sup-
ply, demand, and the other eco'
nomic yardsticks to discover what
the outlcok is for 1941. Livestock
prospects are good, if you keep cost
down and quality up. The profits
so to the man who feeds cheaply
and well. But, say the economists,
don't push the farm business way
out on a limb. It Is hard to see
beyond a few months or a year.

High! School Basketball
Teams Are 'Evaluated 1
The ; following paragraphs are
sports comments from a Minneapo-
lis Tribune writer of last Sunday:
When Bemidji doesn't win the
twenty-ninth district championship
it is something unusual and that is
apparently the case again. Coach
Buck Robbins' crew is defending
champion in the eighth region and
may be on the way back to the
state tournament again from all
indications.
Twin Valley has a veteran aggre-
gation |in the thirtieth, district again
but signs of trouble ahead develop-
ed when it was defeated by Fosston
42 to :40 in two overtime periods
just before the holidays.
Thief River Falls, the oldest dis-
trict champion in the state by rea-
son of having won the thirty-first
district crown four straight years,
has not met any teams in its own
area as yet, but has been spilled
by both Bemidji and Detroit Lakes.
While reports out of the thirty-
second district report Roseau as
not being as strong as a year ago,
scores of early games indicate that
is not the case at all. Instead, Ro-
seau has been plowing ahead in
impressive fashion so far.
Breckenridge, winner of the state
championship last year, apparently
is doomed to yield that title as
well as the sixth regional and twen-
ty-first district crowns this year.
That team, missing much of its
strength, has been on. the short-
end of scores pretty consistently
since the start of the season.
Detroit Lakes has scored victories
over both Breckenridge and Thief
River Falls to serve notice it will
not relinquish its 'twenty-third dis-
trict title .without a fight. Already
doped one of the outstanding teams
in the sixth region is C'rosby-Iron-
ton, [defending champion in the
twenty-fourth district. The Crosby-
Ironton team has defeated such
teams as Minneapolis Edison, Wa-
dena 1 , Fergus Falls, St. Cloud, and
Aitkin, while losing by only a slim
to Duiuth Denfeld.
The Prowlers found the going a
little tough, at the start in the game
at Grand Rapids Saturday, the
home team having a 10-5 lead at
the end of the first quarter. How-
ever, the 1 Lindymen clicked better
in the second quarter to have a
15-12 lead at half-time. The Prow-
ler lead was increased to 20-16 at
the end of the third quarter. But
Grand Rapids came back in the last
quarter to trail by only 2 points as
the final |gun sounded. Score 25-23.
The Prowlers were weak again on
the free-throw line, getting only 3
points in' 17 chances. Grand Rapids
sank 7 of the 14 free shots for
counters.
Flasch 'was again top scorer for
Thief River Falls, counting 1 14
points on 7 field goals. Oftelie, a
forward, jwas high- man .for Grand
Rapids with 7 points.
Puppetry
Today, Thursday, at 4:20 a pup-
pet show will be. staged in the arena
puppet theatre. It is the first show
in three weeks, productions having
been cancelled during the holidays.
Snow White and Rose Red will be
put on along with other shorts.
Everyone is invited to these free
shows, which are held at the same
time every Thursday afternoon.
Basketball Games
Seven teams started play in the
local independent basketball league
Wednesday of this week. Games
are played on Monday and Wed-
nesday of each week, with three
games being played each night. All
games are played in the city audi-
torium "and are free to the public.

Woodcraft
Leaders in the shop get no rest.
After handling the holiday rush of
participants in a very good man-
ner, they are ready for more par-
ticipation. Many good things are
made in the shop, a lot if things
are repaired, so why not come and
take advantage of these wood-work-
ing facilities?
Miscellaneous
Handicraft work is available in
the arena upstairs. Boxing and
wrestling are activities in the gym.
Ping pong tables will soon -be set
up in the arena -upstairs for those
who like the sport. Washington
school rnik is now under the sup-
ervision of one of our leaders. Other
school rink is now under the sup-
ervision in the near future. Hun-
dreds have been at the toboggan
slide taking advantage of this win-
ter facility. There is room for many
more.
This Week found the resumption
of one activity under the local
WPA-City recreation program and
the start of another.
Local business and professional
men may again romp around in
the new high school gym on Tues-
day night. That is the night set
aside for their recreation. Basket-
ball, Valleyball, badminton, and
other games are available for them.
Only a few turned out for the two
previous nights, but this lack of
participation has been attributed to
the holiday business rush. It is the
hope of city officials that this
ccming Tuesday night will find a
large crowd in the new gym.
Starting this week as a new part
of the program is the independent
basketball league. Seven teams have
entered from Hartz, Soo Cafe, J &
B Drug, Bjorkmahs Toggery, NYA
School, Oen's, and DeMolay. All
games"will be played in. the city
auditorium on Monday and Wed-
nesday nights. Three sames will be
played each night starting at 7, 8,
and 9 o'clock. * No admission is
charged for these games. Wednes-
day of this week NYA met Soo
Cafe, Hartz played Oen's and Bjork-
man's Toggery opposed J & B. Next
Monday nights ■'games are as fol-
lows: Soo -vs. -Hartz, Oen's vs.

letic program, among the more im-
oortant chases of it, Mr. Bye stat-
ed:
"Some specific information on
the activities at this season of the
year will serve to illustrate to you
the scope of this intra-mural pro-
gram. Mr. Nelson has organized
twenty boys' basketball teams in
the Junior-Senior High School and
has classified them into three div-
isions. The junior division includes
grades 7 and 8 and has eight teams.
The intermediate division is com-
posed of six ninth grade teams.
The senior high school students are
in the senior division and have six
teams. One team in each division
is .a neon hour team, that is, it is
made up of students who stay in

Each of the twenty teams will play
one game per week during the next
two months. The intermediate div-
ision will play on Mondays, one
game being scheduled for the noon

ule Skaters
The City Council, among other
items, considered at its monthly
session Tuesday evening, voted to
continue the present Recreational
Program, a setup that was brought
about last summer and has given
general satisfaction. The sum of
$350 was voted toward its 1341 sup-
port, the rest of the expense being
borne by the national NYA pro-
gram.
Bids were ordered published for
a new police car, depositories" lor
the city's funds and for the print-
ing of the council proceedings. The
old patrol car will be traded on
the deal for a new car. Bids are
to be opened at the next meeting
of the council.
A first reading was given to the
ordinance repealing the regulation
and licensing of refreshment par-
lors, an ordinance antiquated by
the more recent beer parlor ordin-
ance. The salaries of three patrol
officers was increased $10 per
month for each, the increase start-
ins Jan. 1st, 1941.
Renewal of the lease to the NYA

another year was approved, the old
lease expiring Jan. 31. This lease

COUNTY FLAX
GROWERSPLAN
1941 PROGRAM
^Local Meeting Last Week
Considers Crop As
Raised Here
An intensive program to extend
the use of properly cleaned .seed
flax and a county wide study of
cultural practices used by farmers
in growing flax, were the two pro-
posals that came out of the meet-
ing of a group of Pennington coun-
ty farmers Tuesday, Jan. 7. It was
felt, by bottj the farmers and ele-*
vator -men, that emphasis should
be placed on a flax program, as
flax is the most Important cash
crop grown In the county.
This program, it was decided,
should be carried out by a county
committee to consist of one farmer
from each township in the county
working together with the elevators
in the county. The township com-
mittee or township member of the
county committee will do two
things: first, they will collect in-
formation early next fall from sev-
eral farmers in their respective
townships on a questionnaire re-
garding seed bed preparation, time
of: seeding, the preceding crop on
the flax field, and other cultural
factors, and also a small sample of
flax for laboratory analysis. Sec-
ond, arrangements will be made to
set up a few demonstration flax
fields in each community in the
county, showing the comparison be-
tween the use of clean seed flax,
and the seed flax as the farmer
would usually plant It. A part of
the demonstration field would be
seeded to clean seed flax and the
other part would be seeded to the
usual farmer's seed flax.
A plan was. also discussed as to
how the seed may be cleaned^ In
the first place good facilities are -
available at a number of seed hous-
es in Thief [River Falls. Farmers
who wish to carry on these demon-
strations may have their seed clean-
ed at the seed house at the regular
cleaning rates. There is also avail-
able another opportunity for hav-
ing seed cleaned. The extension di-
vision has a portable flax cleanin-z
machine that does a gocd job, and
the machine will be available for
use for about two days work early
In the spring. The flax cleaning
machine can be set up possibly at
two points in the county to clean
lots of seed for fifty or sixty farm-
ers, perhaps 25 or 30 bushels per
farmer, for a cost of around two
cents per bushel.

Newf olden Man Arrested
For Drunken Driving
Hans H. Hanson of Newfolden
was arrested by the local police
early Sunday morning on Atlantic
Avenue North in this city on the
charge of drunken driving. In mun-
icipal court Monday he was fined
$35 and his driver's license sus-
pended for 60 days.
The state legislature got into
regular activity this week at jSL
Paul as Speaker Hall announced
his committee appointments and
the introduction of bills was start-
ed. The liberal faction got few com-
mittee assignments, though tnej
didn't resent it publicly. [
Among the bills sent, first into
the hopper were three for the Ire-
peal of the old age lien law. One
was by And. Hayford of Minnea-
polis, another by Joe Prifel of jst,
Paul, and the third by Thos. O*-
Malley of Duluth.
Hayford demanded a roll call] on
his motion to suspend the rules
and consider the measure without
referring it to committee but, fol-
lowing admonition by Majority Lea-
der Roy Dunn, that the move was
"very unusual procedure," the jef-
fort by Hayford was voted down.
O'Malley's bill would not only
repeal the lien provisions of the
law, but increase maximum assist-
ance from $30 to $40 ,per month.
To pay for the extra assistance,! hft
introduced another measure to raise
the state income tax one per cent '
on incomes of more than $6,000' a
year. j .

ed Tuesday .by Speaker Hall of the

UNCLE SAM WILL PREPARE
The enormous sum suggested by the president
for national defense in his message to Congress
last -week Is almost beyond comprehension and we
feel that it is getting ^ be too much so that a limit
must be placed somewhere unless -we go bankrupt-
We believe it consistent and to our benefit to
' give all the aid possible to Great Britain with some
understanding as to repayment of that which is
not paid for in cash. We believe we should pay the
part Great Britain has for so long a time: let some
one else do the battling for us.
That we should be forced to expend a sum of
25 billion dollars on a defense program doesn't seem
sensible. While no one likes to take chances, yet we
believe that by giving all the aid we can to England
it is reasonable to expect that Hitler and Mussolini
■will be defeated. Under such conditions the enormous
preparations here will be uncalled for.
Of course, we will have to prepare to some ex-
tent and, in addition, be on guard in regard to
developments. But as we are -so doing work out a
plan that will pay for the preparations while they
are being brought about.
It is consistent that we expend funds to the
aid of the hungry and starving who are already
with us. But to expend such an enormous sum on
something that is more or less hypothetical isn't
quite as consistent. .
However, we are not of the Wheeler type that
asserts the president is planning to sacrifice Ameri-
ca's youth at the front. We feel Mr. Roosevelt is
well informed on what is necessary, but that he is
stepping too fast, at this time at least.
Mortimer J. Adler, author of "How To Read A Book":
"Reading, I repeat, is a basic tool. Those who
can use it to learn from books, as well as be amused
by them, have access to the stores of knowledge.
They can furnish their minds so that the prospect
of hours spent alone Is less bleak. Nor, in the hours
they spend with others, heed they fear that hollow
sound of empty conversation.
"One— though not the only — justification of lib-
eral education is that It! enriches us. It makes men
of us. It makes us able to lead the distinctively
human life of reason. Vocational training at its best
can only help us earn' the living which supports our
leisure. Everyone knows, 1 1 hope, that education is
only begun, not completed, in school and college.
Even if our colleges were doing a much better job
than they are, it would still be necessary for all
of us to continue our education thereafter. As it is,
most of us have the problem of getting the educa-
tion which schools and [colleges failed to give us.
Education is still open ito all of us— whether we
have had a schooling orjin spite of it. But only it
we know how to read. \
"In a democracy, we must discharge the respon-
sibilities of free men. Liberal education is here an
indispensable means to tins end. It not only makes
men of us by cultivating jour minds, but it frees our
minds by disciplining them. Without free minds,
we cannot act like free [men. I shall try to show
you that the art of reading well is intimately re
lated to the art of thinking well— clearly, critically
freely."
I
PURPOSE OF HOPKINS* TRIP
The purpose of Hopkins' visit to Britain remains
a closely guarded secret, but there is a strong sus-
picion that; it evolves on' two things: telling those
running the British government exactly what aid
to expect from this country under any and all con-
ditions, and, in return, extracting a promise that
when the time comes to discuss peace this country's
voice will be heard.
It is assumed that the United States will not
place itself in a position of giving all-out aid in
defeating the Axis without some tangible assurance
that we will have something to say about the kind
of a world which will be shaped about the peace con-
ference table. And we dont want a world shaped by a
vindictive peace, no matter who wins the war.
WHAT OF OUR STATE'S FINANCIAL STATUS?
Claims and counter claims become very confus-
ing in regard to the state's finances or its present
financial status from reports in the Twin City news-
papers of last Saturday. 'Julius A. Schmahl, state
treasurer, states that the bonded indebtedness, has
been reduced -eleven million dollars in the last year
and a half. At the same time the Hennepin County
delegation in the legislature asserts, through its sec-
retary, Nathan Harris, Minneapolis research engin-
eer, that his city's present financial predicament is
entirely due to its relief' load and the seriousness
of that situation is due in turn to the fact state
contributions to the Minneapolis relief efforts have
decreased disproportionately. In another report pub-
lished in the St. Paul Dispatch recently, Harry
piterman, noted tax consultant and who has made
numerous research investigations into the state's
finances, claims that the general fund for .Minne-
sota is now 3& million dollars more in the red
than it was a year and a half ago.
It may be well to reduce the state's bonded
\ indebtedness. But are our state funds being put
more in the red in order to do it? Also are our
smaller political subdivisions', such as our cities and
counties, being deprived of state relief so that the
financial conditions in these political subdivisions
become so serious that in due time bankruptcies
there will be the ultimate result?
The question is: can the state reduce its bonded
indebtedness and also deny aid to cities where relief
funds are so necessary that the people will starve
if such aid is not ibtained? In such a case the re-
sult will be that a time will come when the state
will have to appropriate much larger sums as an
outright gift.
To further befuddle the situation Gov. Stassen
claimed in his message to the legislature that more
tnan 60,000 unemployed have been put back to work
in the larger industrial centers. If such is the case
Minneapolis should find its, relief burden considerably
less. But the Harris statement of the Mill City's
financial predicament disapproves the governor's
assertions a gocd deal.
An explanation is needed.
. '/;££:
BROACHING AN OLD PROBLEM
Several Pennington county citizens have ap-
proached us in recent weeks on the matter of our
present courthouse and the condition in which it
is in. The statement was made that the structure
is a disgrace for the county and city alike and that
a new one should be constructed.
We are fully aware of the predicament the
county board is finding itself. Some want tax reduc-
tions while others want improvements that call for
■ expenditures. Seme point oui, we will have a WPA
payroll in spite of the national defense expenditures
and that this could be devoted toward a new court-
house.
" The appropriation for WPA was cut considerably
according to reports from Washington as congress
opened. However, with most of the WPA projects
Completed in this county and city, something must
be sought to employ our employable needy next
year or two. A WPA courthouse project, if obtain-
able, should be the most important and logical one.
READING AND ITS VALUE
We are now at that time of the year when a
large portion of our people are more or less idle,
something especially true of the rural population.
As has been urged in these columns- in previous
winter seasons, all who have the convenience should
obtain some substantial reading matter that will
serve to give the reader a broader view of life, I. e..
a greater amount of education.
With- libraries available and willing to lend books
to all, we see no reason why those who can should
not seek to widen his or her scope of knowledge.
In citing the value of reading we want to quote
ROCKWELL DEFENSE INCREASED
While the Rockwell ouster case is being con-
ducted in St. Paul today, indications are that if
injustice is being done the accused there is obtain-
ing a great deal of support in his defense. The
schoolmen of the state, as well as a national feder-
ation of teachers, are the 'more prominent. In evalu-
ating the case an editorial in the St. Paul Dispatch
stated as follows: i -
"Governor Stassen did well in suspending the
Board of Education's so-called hearing on the dis-
missal of Dr. Rockwell and ordering appointment of
a referee, but he should not have stopped there.
He should have thrown | it completely out of the
window.
"Friday's proceedings 'might have been suitable
for a drum head court martial but ails is supposed
to be an inquiry into certain specific charges that
have been brought against the State Commissioner
of Education. As far as the intimations ' of Commu-
nism are concerned, if nothing more worthy in the
name of evidence can be found to back them up.
they had best be forgotten with as good a- grace
as may be possible.
"The State Board of Education has accused Dr.
Rockwell with being inefficient and with actions
inconsistent with the duties of his office. It is a
striking fact that this same board, excepting one
member, got along with Dr. Rockwell for two years
before discovering these impediments to his use-
fulness. The only new factor that has arisen is the
Carstater dismissal. Mr. Carstater, however, has been
vindicated by the Civil Service Board. How can Dr.
Rockwell be guilty of improper conduct for having
opposed the dismissal of a subordinate who was be-
ing dismissed improperly?
"This is an episode which adds nothing to the
lustre of the state administration."

Mr. Verne Marshall and his No
Foreign 'War Committee are
through— through" with the isola-
tionists and everybody else who
counts. Their only hope Is that, in
their first [embrace, he. hasn't given
them the kiss of death.
Isolationists, whether you agree
with them or not, in the main are
loyal Americans. If they are play-
ing the Hitlerygame, at least they
are not dping.'it wittingly. Most of
them, in fact, prefer a British to a
Nazi victory, as, for example, Sen-
ator Wheeler, who Is .pro-British at
heart. And they don't like the pro-
Nazi odors that emanate frcm Mr.
Marshall and his No Foreign War
Committee.
Above ail, they want no connec-
tions with! a movement sponsored
by an oil ipromotor who became a
millionaire through dealings with
Messrs. Hitler, Gcerlng, Goebells, et
al.
When Mr. Marshall made his ap-
pearance in the Nation's Capitol
with the avowed purpose or putting
William Allen White, the Commit-
tee to Defend America by Aiding
the yUlles, and all and sundry "in-
tervenUonists and war-mongers" in
their proper place, he quickly exe-
cuted the following moves, all of
which failed to click:
He lunched with a group of Sen-
ate isolationists, and succeeded in
impressing them with the fact that
he was not of their flesh and blood.
They didn't like his actions.
He called in the gentlemen of the
press for a conference, in which he"
"divulged" that a mysterious "peace
offer" has been made by the Nazis
after the subjugation of Poland, and
inveiged against this country "giv-
ing its defenses away to a foreign
power." The trouble with the- for-
mer was that the alleged "peace
offer" did not come through the
regular German diplomatic chan-
nels but rather was conveyed thru
"Oil Man" Davis, who, it developed
in the course of the questioning/is
the "angel" of Mr. Marshall's com-
mittee — by "angel" meaning its fi-
nancial backer to the tune of
$100,000— and with the latter that
in protesting against the policy o!
"giving our defenses away" he gave
the unmistakable impression that
his fears were not so much con-
cerned with the United States be-
ing left defenseless against a pos-
sible Nali attack as they were with
giving Britain the necessary imple-
ments of war with which to resist
Hitler.
Finally, he went on the air in a
nation-wide radio hook-up and
proved to the satisfaction of" every-
body that all he had on the ball
DOINGS IN WASHINGTON
By Henry Zon
Washington, D-
lm
c
TEXTBOOK TEMPEST
The National Association of Manufacturers has
been worried about "what; is in public school text-
books. There has been an increasing fear, the man-
ufacturers explain, that j"our high school students
are not being given a fair and impartial presenta-
tion of our form of government and the private
enterprise system." In order to find out more, the
N. A. M. hired Dr. Ralph West "Robey, assistant
Professor of Banking at Columbia, journalist, one-
time aide to Presidential candidate Alf M. Landon.
Dr. Robey was to prepare abstracts of 600 social
science texts.
With a staff of assistants Dr. Robey went to
work. Last week the results were about to toe made
available to the public in a survey running to 500,000
words and requiring about 1,200 pages. "The public
will have a factual basis upon which to judge what,
if anything, should be done," the N. A. M. state-
ment read. Fourteen members of Harvard's faculty;
asserted there was danger that the N. A. M. analysis
had been made "with bias."
Behind the N. A. Mi's interest in school books
was presumed to be a controversy that for several
years has beat about the head of Harold Rugg, Pro-
fessor of Education at Teachers College, Columbia
University, and a colleague of Dr. Robey's. Dr. Rugg,
once a civil engineer, is author of many books, in-
cluding "Introduction to American Civilization,"
"Changing Civilizations in 1 a Modern World," "Chang-
ing Governments and Changing Cultures," and "The
Social Science Pamphlets." Rugg textbooks have been
used in the schools of about 5.000 American com-
munities.
Other communities considered complaints against
Dr. (Rugg and last year began to suppress his text-
books. Blnghamton, N. Y.; banned them. A Bradncr,
Ohio, school authority threw copies on a bonfire.
The Mountain Lakes, <N. J„ school board, acting on
an American Legion resolution, eliminated Rugg
textbooks. Dr. Rugg contended that the attacks came
from enemies of liberalism who were engaged in a
"dangerous movement of witch-hunting." A group or
his supporters, including New York educators, clergy-
men and editors, insisted: "There must be no book-
burnings in America."— 'New York Times.
.— ... ! ^^MNMf
It should be said at the very be-
ginning that "Washington society"
has never; been a decent cross-sec-
tion of the American people. From
the day old John Adams first mov-
ed into the White House, the men
and women whose names decorate
the capital's "social register" have
had precious little respect for de-
mocratic ideals. They considered
Thomas Jefferson "a traitor to his
class" and sneered at Andrew Jack-
son, as a 'Iboor."
During the present depression
they bitterly criticized the "New
Deal" because It fed hungry Ameri-
cans and i they applauded Hoover
when he drove the "bonus march-
ers" out of the capital at the point
of the bayonet.
Become a Little Silly
But now! they have gone "goofy"
over the titled refugees who have
sufficient money or Influence to
make their way across the Atlantic.
A fair example was the reception
accorded Princess Juliana of The
Netherlands ■ when'' she visited
Washington recently. She was al-
most mobbed by the social elite
whenever she appeared in public,
and many of those privileged to
touch her hand acted as thougr
they had never heard of the Dec-
laration of Independence.
To a lesser degree the other ti-
tled refugees are being kowtowed
to in sftniitir fashion.
The New York "Herald-Tribune"
declares that the work of "extend-
ing relief to the world's war-har-
rassed peoples" has assumed the
proportions of an "industry." It has
tabulated 295 organizations with
1,500,000 active members, all solic-
iting . money, clothing, food and
other materials. Supervising this
immense movement are well-paid
staffs running into the hundreds.
Forget the Poor at Home
Apparently there is no limit to
what these people are willing to do
for sufferers in other lands, but
they remain indifferent to the con-
dition of their own flesh and blood
right here at home.
The same effort on behalf of our
own needy .would go a long way to-
ward rendering government help
unnecessary.
While we are on the subject, it
might be well to point out that the
business of getting refugees into
this country has become a good deal
of a "racket." Just a few days ago
the State Department announced
with a great flourish of trumpets
that the bars had been let down so
that 2,000 might come in, and those
in touch with the situation said
that at least 600,000 were clamor-
ing in American consular offices
abroad for the privilege of coming
over. j
"They Had the Money"
Undoubtedly, among ^these 2,000
there are ; numerous worthy cases.
On the other hand, it seems to be
generally conceded that many got
their names on the lists "because
they had the money."
The great mass of Hitler's victims
are without funds. They must re-
main in their native lands, starv-
ing and slaving under the whip of
the totalitarian dictators.
Those who are coining across, in
the main, 1 are the very rich and
those who' belong to "great fami-
lies." |
All have sustained heavy finan-
cial losses; but in hundreds of in-
stances they succeeded in carrying
away gold, jewels and gilt-edged
securities, or had reserves in banks
on this side of the Atlantic.
It will be recalled - that one of
the Rothschilds came into New
York with his wife and revealed
that among their possessions was
$1,000,000 in precious stones.
Because ; these people "have the
money," they are in a position to
hire lobbyists who will labor with
the State Department in their be-
half. They| are willine to pay hand-
some fees; for such services, and
apparently^ they are not worrying
very much about what happens to
their fellow countrymen who are
compelled to remain at home.
It would be very enlightening if
congress were to secure from the
State Department the list of the
2,000 refugees who are about to be
admitted with brief comment on
each individual, his connections and
his financial resources.
"World's Prize Suckers"
This would enable the American
people to get some extremely in-
teresting information concerning
the way this particular phase cf
the refugee problem is being hand-
led, and the character of the men
and women who are being admit-
ted.
Above all, it is time for the Am-
erican people to get a grip on their
emotions. If thsy don't they will
wake up some day to find they have
been played for the world's prize
"suckers."
The first task of a nation, as of
an. individual, is to take care of* its
own. Millions of. our own people
are still without adeouate food,
clothing and housing, "until they
are provided for, we should place
a check on our efforts to relieve
unfortunates in other lands.
Don't Favor the Rich
Our immigration laws were en-
acted after years of struggle. They
should not be relaxed in favor of
the rich and powerful who have
the gold with which to hire per-
suasive special pleaders.
Finally, it might be a gcr>d idea
to recall occasionally that there
was a time when Americans cheer-
ed whenever they heard that a
throne had toppled in Europe and
that much of Europe's troubles are
traceable to the fact that klnzs and
queens and nobles performed so
wretchedly, and warred among
themselves so incessantly, that they
paved the way for the frightful
"isms" which are now submerging
human rights throughout the Old
World.
was a lot of crust.
So '. exeunt Mr. Verne Marshall
and his No Foreign War Commit- :
tee. The fuse to his time bomb will
continue to sputter for a while, but
the bomb itself will never explode.
It is a dud. Now and then he will
make the front page headlines —
but mostly It will be when he and
the connections of his committee
are exposed. He cannot possibly
do the cause of the sincere people
who want to keep America out of
war for this country's sake any
good.
Rcuther Plan Studied
Convinced that mere is seme
merit to the so-called Reuther plan
to utilize, idle space in the autcmo-
ble plants for the mass production
of warplanes (Mr, Reuther estim-
ates that the plan, after six months,
can turn out 500 planes daily) the
Administration has undertaken a
study of its feasibility.
The plan is receiving consider-
able support frcm liberals on Capi-
tol Hill, who feel that the automo-
tive industry is the logical place
for airplane mass production rather
than the airplane Industry, organ-'
ized to do the work more on a "cus-
toms-made" basis. Automobile in-
dustrialists, however, are opposed
to it, largely because it doesn't fit
into their conception of, what con-
stitutes "good business." Also — and
this is true of industrialists gener-
ally—they don't like the idea of
labor originating the plan. Many
of them feel that placing all the
idle automotive facilities in a large
jack-pot, so to speak, is a stepping
stone to government operation o. r
industry and collectivism.
There is no indication of enthu-
siasm for the plan as yet ccmln^'
frcm the defense commission. Whe-
ther Knudsen, -who is a large auto-
mobile industrialist himself, shares
the views of his fellow automobile
industrialists is not known.
The airplane industry, as was to
be expected, is very hostile to the
plan, but is hardly in a. position to
say much. They are letting others
do their talking. They are not pre-
pared for such competition either
now or 'after the emergency is ot-

The war minded group regard-
less of uaTty ;are out to rob the
cradle to" produce soldiers for the
gathering war clouds. They are
trying to create public opinion to
take our 18 to 21 year old "boys"
and push them into the trenches
for cannon fodder. The present age
limit of 21 is young enough under
present conditions.
Mothers and fathers everywhere
in our country should arise as one
unit, organize, petition and write
their congressmen and senators to
fight this movement with all the
power at their command. At the
age of 18 these "boys" are still in
their teens, Home Boys attending
school or college, and should not
be robbed of their birthright in a
civilized country to prepare for a
worthy citizenship in one of the
most enlightened and progressive
nations in the world.
These "boys" are not prepared
to be thrown into these war camps.
They are too young and not phys-
ically matured to be pushed into
this whirl-gig of confusion and de-
gradation, regardless of what poli-
ticians and war-minded professors
may declare or decree.
If Americans wish to save and
preserve America for Americans;
they must today step up and pro-
tect family ties— the family circle
— before it is too ate. The under-
mining of the public morale of our

Where is/it wise to cut costs in
your new home and where is it wise
to buy the best?" This is a problem
that most home, builders face more
than/once during construction. And
what is the answer? It is a prob-
lem that every home owner must
fettle to the best of his ability with
the help of his contractor and
architect.
Replacement Big Factor
There is- one general principle .
that can be set down here, how-
ever. Briefly, it is this. Any part
of your house that it is not practi-
cal-to replace should have the best
in construction and materials. By
this, we mean such items as foot-
ings and foundation, timber skele-
ton and frame work, windows and
window frames, which are really
part of the house frame, concealed
ducts and wiring. . All these things
must last the life of the house.
Wiser to Wait
It is wiser to wait for some -of
the attractive furnishings and fix-
tures until more money is avail-
able, rather than to skimp on
CREAKY FLOORS — Very often
the result of skimping on size of
floor joists. Another example of
the wrong pl^re to cut costs.

sympathy during the Illness and

Lake Benton Man Kills
Girl, In Jealous Rage
A Redwcod : county coroner's jury
Tuesday returned a verdict charg-
ing Everett Johnson; 28, Lake Ben-
ton farmhand, with the "premedi-
tated" slaying* of'- his former .girl
friend, shot , down late Monday in
the front yard of the farm home
where she worked.
The verdict, said- County Attorney
Thomas Reed, Jr., alleged that Gale
Wendorff, the pretty 20-year-old
victim, died from a bullet fired from
a .22 calibre revolver "feloniously
and with premeditation at the
hands of Everett Johnson."
Sheriff L.J. Else said that John-
son, questioned at length in the
county jail ! at Redwood Falls on
Tuesday, denied he shot the girl
intentionally. He asserted, accord-
ing to Kise, that he threatened
suicide and that as the girl grab-
bed his arm, the revolver was dis-
charged, the bullet striking her in
the head. :
The sheriff quoted Johnson as
saying that he and Miss Wendorff
had been close friends for about
three years! but that she quit .him
New Years day and he had "wor-
ried about lit" since.
Another outstanding movie of
the season will be seen next Sun-
day and Monday at the Avalon
Theatre. It is the film "A Dispatch
From Reuters" in which Edward
G. Robinson plays one of the most
important roles in his career.
Telling the thrilling life story of
Julius Reuter, [founder and origin-
ator of the first world-wide news
gathering and news disseminating
system, Robinson is cast as Reu-
ter, and the roster of supporting
players include such- notables as
Edna . Best, Eddie Albert, Albert
Basserman. and;.Gene ; Lockhart. .
The story begins back in the
early- nineteenth century in Ger-
many, where a young lad named
Reuter Is working in a bank as a
messenger boy. Aware of the delay
and uncertainty of the mails and
market reports, from the larger
European centers, he dreams of
finding some way to expedite such
services.
His first venture in- this direc-
tion is a carrier pigeon post for
carrying messages between Aix-La-
Chappelle and Verviers. It is dur-
ing this venture that he meets and
marries Ida Magnus (played by Ed-
na Best).
But meanwhile the communica-
tions field is being revolutionized
by the telegraph, and Reuter's
winger messengers are no longer
needed. Now is the time "to launch
his scheme for a large-scale news
service. He goes to Paris, but is
unsuccessful there. In 1851, he goes
to England and becomes a British
subject.
It is several years later when he
gets his big chance. He ties up the
English channel cable line, makes
arrangements in Paris to have one
of Napoleon's most important spee-
ches relayed word for word by tele-
graph, while It is being delivered.
He furnishes spot copies to all Lon-
don newspapers, and his success is
made.
Out of these true to life events,
a thrilling, human story has been
woven, combining all the basic In-
gredients of a great man's life —
struggle,, defeat and eventual tri-
umph— into a truly fine film.

as they can safely return to their
normal environment. I
This end purpose has been well
executed in the Oakland Park pro-
ject by the sanatorium's farseeing
and progressive superintendent. Dr.
Baldwin Bcrreson, witli the assist-
ance of his efficient jfield nurse,
Margaret Hesiburg. AH: positive re-
actors to the test were X-rayed.
Those shewing indications of dis-
ease by this means mere further
examined clinically. As I a result, 18
cases of active, progressive tuber-
culosis were uncovered by this pro-
ject. This is no mean] reward for
the expense and time consumed.
Eighteen people, whose disease may
have progressed to the jfar-advanc-
ed consumptive stage were discov-
ered in time. Eighteen I people who
definitely threatened tlie health of
those with whom they came in con-
tact are being properly treated, S3
that additional infections to others
cannot take place. |
Others who shewed suspicious
shadows on X-ray, indicating lung
damage frcrh some rause have be-
come intelligently aware of thttr
border-line condition as a result of
this survey. To toe aware of a pos-
sible danger in most cases means
avoiding it. How many cases of
tuberculosis have been actually
prevented by this project is one of
the intangible values of the under-
taking upon which there can be
only speculation. But intangible
values are none the less real be-
cause they defy measurement.
The results of this tuberculosis
case-finding program are so far-
reaching that a brief study of how
the project was conducted twill be
in order. j
But before we can ! understand
how it was performed; we should
knew vhere the program took
place.
Oakland Park Sanatorium is one
'of the later county sanatoria, hav-
ing been opened in 1918. At that
time there was only one building,
with a bed capacity of 32 patients.
The addition of the nurses' home
in 1922, an addition to the main
building in 1926, and the most re-
cent addition of 15 beds in 1939
brings the sanatorium to its pres-
ent appearance and capacity. There
is rocm for 65 patients.'
The most recent addition, cpened
for patients last December, also
houses new laboratories, an X-ray
room, personnel offices, laundry,
and dining room for hurses and
employees. , i
The buildings are well kept and
homey. The beauty of| the sana-
torium, however, is immeasurably
increased by the 22 acres of trees,
clcsely -clipped lawn and gardens
which surround it. Located a mile
and a quarter from Thief River
.rails in Pennington County, the
sanatorium is built in' a section
once called Oakland Park Addition,
a suburb to the city. This location
was selected by Dr. Robinson Bos-
worth, of the State Sanatorium
Commission, and Dr. O. 1 J. Mellby,
of Thief River Falls, whb has serv-
ed as .president of the sanatorium
commission since 1919. Much of the
credit for the founding and devel-
opment of the institution is owing
to : Dr. Mellby's efforts, backed by
the cooperation of his fellow com-
missioners at that time and since.
Each cf the four counties afe
represented on the Sanatorium
Beard, which numbers nine mem-
bers. The current board, under Dr.
Mellby, is composed of Dr.- H. M.
Blegen, vice president, Warren; Al-
fred Bredeson, Thief "River Falls;
Dr. J.:A. Roy, Red-Lake: Falls; Ole
p. Lee, Oklee; T. B. Folden, Holt;
O, K. Chrlstianson, Greenbush- o
Gunstad, St. Hilaire, and]M. J. Heg-
land, from Roseau. ''.■'■■
The institution serves' a district
which, at one time, had a very hi<?h
tuberculosis death rate, ireaching'a
peak '.of- 171.67 Vi Pennington In
1910. Since the middle twenties this
rate has taken a spectacular drop "'

testing- schedule with the survey
being conducted in the fall of 1337.
A total of 3,336 tests .were given.
Primarily, the cbject was to test
school children. Hcwever, the many
adults who requested the test were
not discouraged.
The children whose parents ne-
glected to give their consent for
the test represents the huge ques-
tion mark which always : enters in
to disturb the conclusions of such
a survey. The question taunts one:
were the 10^ who failed jto receive
the test the ones who mest should
have been tested? Was it ! fear that
hidden tuberculosis in the family
would be brought to medical atten-
tion, that restrained these parents?
In some events, then, is| a matter
definitely requiring continuous edu-
cation. :
Long before testing began in Ro-
seau county. Miss Hessburg planned
with the superintendent an inten-
sive county-wide educational pro-
Margarct Hessbnrff, Field Nurse
gram. Talks were givenu throughout
the county. Literaturb jfrom the
Minnesota Public" Health" Associa-
tion was distributed. Then the re-
quest cards for the test 1 were given
to school children to be signed 'by
their parents. With this, | they car-
ried home the Christmas Seal pam-
phlet, "What is the Mantoux Test?"
Because the task of testing at 100
rural schools and 9- town schools
was formidable, units in larger
towns were set up. Through school
bulletins and town papers the gen-
eral public as .well as teachers were
informed as to dates' and place
where they should bring the child-
ren. The response was good.
As a result of the educational
campaign, aH positive! -reactors knew
that they were to have an X-ray
to complete the tes6..The trans-
portation to the sanatorium (was
made possible by school j busses.
The success ol the survey which
involved the taking of 457 X-rays,
is unquestioned, botli from an edu-
cational viwepoint, and! the fact
that eight cases of active tubercu-
losis .were discovered in this county .
alone. Christmas Seal funds were
used here as in the other counties
to finance the X-rays taken of the
children.
Testing in the other counties took
place as follows: Marshall, in the
spring, of 1939; Red Lake, during
the next fall; and Pennington last
spring. j
Six months preceding the begin-
ning of testing in Marshall county,
the Red Cross and Christmas Seal
organizations there conceived the
idea of conducting a testing survey
in the schools of the county. Feel-
ing that the logical authority to
conduct such a program } was the
sanatorium, these organizations Dis-
cussed the matter with -Dr. Bor-
reson. As the Roseau county survey
was still under way, the plan was
dropped until spring. Then the
sanatorium submitted to the asso-
ciations a suggested program,
which was approved, and! the sur-
vey proceeded as a cooperative ven-
ture. Education, us in the Roseau
program, was the pivot about which
the survey revqlved. All newspapers
editors were personally called upon.
The county superintendent of
schools, town superintendent, and
teachers gave their whole hearted
support. The problem of informing
the rural areas was solved by the
highly advantageous meeting of
rural teachers at their annual in-
stitute. Dr. Borreson spoke at this
meeting. He explained to the teach-
ers the work he was about to do,
and how impoftaxit their 'coopera-
tion, would be." .■ !
The testing .was begun March Gth
and ended May 20. During this time
3.8S1 Mantoux tests Vere given, with
523 reacting positively. 'Of these 142
were adults. .The almost unprece-
dented turnout .of teachers to be
tested -showed a remarkable devel-
opment of tuberculosis education in
that region. Fifty-two teachers re-
ceived the test. Eight persons, as
In Roseau, were found to have a
clinically active infection of tuber-
culosis.
The response of the parents was
as good as that of the teachers.
A teachers' institute proved to
be a timely advantage in the Red
Lake county survey also. As a re-
sult of the talk given at this meet-
ing, every rural teacher in the
county had the Mantoux test and
those positive followed with an X-
ray examination. It was ' apparent
that the teachers appreciated the
value of the survey as they exerted
every effort to have all pupils in
their schools tested. Adults in the
community also responded. One ad-
ult, discovered to have active in-
fection, entered the sanatorium
shortly afterwards as a patient.
The childhood or primary infections
discovered will be followed up by
a home visit from Miss Hessburg.
In this survey, 2,054 tests were
given, with 124 positive reactions
and one active case uncovered. Ob-
viously, the incidence of Infection
is not so high In Red Lake as in
the other two counties.
A similar situation was found in
the survey in Pennington county,
where about the same number were
tested, and 216 responded positively
with one active case being found.
The tremendqus task of tubercu-
lin testing residents of four coun-
ties is finally completed, 'after three
years. But the follow-up of this
survey will call for continuous ef-
fort over many years.
Dr. Borreson and Miss Hessburg
have performed an exceptional ser-
vice to their district. With them
those teachers, parents, newspaper
men, school superintendents, clergy,
and others who cooperated to make
the survey a success, must be com-
mended. In this exceptional piece
of case-finding work, the Minneso-
ta (Public Health Association ^
proud to have had a part, through
the -work of its affiliated county'
associations who "applied their
Christmas Seal funds "to this pro-
gran:.
South St. jPaul, iMrnn., Jan. 14,
1941: Rapidly mounting hog prices
sent the top to $8.10, a new peak
since September 1939. Lighter re-
ceipts than normal for this period
of the year and continued broad
demand kept values surging up-
ward, according to the Federal-
State Market News Service, and'
accumulative gains for the week to
date totaled 50-60C. Bulk good and
choice 180-270 lb. barrows and gilts
cashed at $8.00-8.10, while weights
up to 330 lb. ranged downward to
$7.70, and extreme heavies occas-
ionally sold at $7.50. Most 140-160
lb. kinds commanded $7.50-8.00,
while 160-180 lb. weights moved at
$7.90-8.10. Good sows sold within
a $6.80-7.00 range and feeder pigs'
were scarce, clearing mainly at
$7.25, with a few strongweights up
to $7.50.
Slaughter steers and she stock
were active and stronger, during the
first two days of the week and gains
measured generally 25c. Choice 1112
lb', steers brought $14.35 Tuesday to
establish a new top in more than
three years. The entire steer crop
is at a new high for the season,
although bulk of the offerings here
consisted of medium to good kinds
at $9.00-11.50. Medium heifers bulk-
ed at $7.00-9.00, but choice offer-
ings brought $10.90 Monday. Com-
mon and medium cows sold at
£6.00-6.75, with good cews at $7.00-
8.00, and canners and cutters at
$4.50-5.75. Bulls worked counter to
the general trend, selling off 25c
in extremes. Medium sausage kinds
brought $6.75-755. Vealers were
generally $1.00 higher, a lew strict-
ly choice reaching $12.50. Stockers.
and feeders advanced 25c, choice'
finishing steers making $11.00, and
choice feeders sold at $10.00-10.50.
Additional price strength: around
25c was noted Monday for led lambs
and yearlings, with the ensuing
session maintaining this advance.
Fed slaughter ewes, largely •western
shipments, scored a 50c upturn.

Lawmakers Begin
Grind At Capitol
(Continued from Front Page)
$1,200,000 for old age assistance was
^introduced in the house by Rep.
Claude Allen, St. Paul, chairman of
the appropriations committee.
According to a report today, a
surprise move was taken by the
house late yesterday when the $1.-
200.000 old age pension deficiency
bill was passed without a dissent-
ing vote. It will now go before the
senate where similar action is an-
ticipated.
The bill is unusual in that, as
Rep. Geo. Hagen of Crookston said,
because Gov. Stassen In his mes-
sage, asserted the state government
was operating on a balanced bud-
get.
. Re-enactment of the four-cent
gasoline tax in Minnesota and the
abolition and reoeal of the one-mill
Dunn law for highway purposes
was asked in a resolution introduc-
ed in the house by Ray Antila of
Duluth.
A puny squeak Tuesday started
what, may become the noisiest
squabble of the current !r~islative
session. The squeak was in the form
of a routine announcement show-
ing proposed reapportionment o'
the state to drastically cut '.he size
of the legislature.
The plan, announced by Senator
Tfarry Wing's sub-committee, con-
form? to Senator Val Imm's pro-
posal that the house be reduced
from 131 to R8 members and the
senate from 67 to 44. The outline
will be basis of a bill to be pre-
sented shortly.
In this setup it is proposed that
Pennington. Red Lake, ' Marshall..
Roseau and Kiti?on counties com-
i,ris? one legislative district. Polk.
Norman and Mahnomen counties
will comprise another.
Change in the state drivers' lic-
ense l?.w to provide compulsory ex-
aminations based on applicant's
ability to drive, physical condition
and vision, was recommended to
the legislature by the Minnesota
safety council.
The legislature also was asked to
study drunken driving sentences
and license revocations with a view
to making oractice more uniform
throughout the state, to increase
personnel of the highway patrol.and
extend its operations to all gas tax
roads.
Married women whose husbands
are earning adequate salaries would
be prohibited from being on the
citv. county or state payrolls under
a bill sponsored in the house of
representatives by Rep. Schulz and
Bibbons. both of St. Paul. Schulz
declared that one of the greatest
causes of child delinquency is the
fact that women are not at home
taking care of their children.
Under Schulz's measure, no mar-
ried D3r=on whose spouse is em-
ployed by the state. -county, city,
village or school district- and re-
ceiving an average income exceed-
ing $150 a month would be permit-
ted on the public .payroll.
mention tREA in his. message,
prompted. Emll Morberg of (Marsh-
all county to-make this ^statement
to the Press: "Has the Governor's
associa.lqn with Commonwealth &
Southern WUlkie caused him to
forget entirely the REA and other
Rural Cooperatives?"
Homestead Lien Law
It appears to me that public
resentment and active opposition
to the Hen Law passed under Gov.
Stassen in 1939 is bearing fruit. In
his inaugural speech he was forced
to recommend that j the . law- be
changed so that: "Where children
can show to the tprobate court that
either they were unable to hem
their parents, or that: they did all
they reasonably could to help them,
that j then the Lien could be en-
tirely waived by the probate court."
This | 'practically brings us back to
the law as it was 'before being tam-
pered with In the '39 session. Rep.
Rollin Johnson, Conservative Ad-
ministration spokesman in the
House, was quoted in the news-
paper as paying: "that sounds to
me like back-door repeal." Liberals
can be well satisfied at the, effect
of their -work, but should not rest
on tv."ir .laurels now! Watch this
legislation concerning cur old peo-
ple!
Saltv; Tax and Other Taxes
Tho^ of us who have actively
tooosed -any move to .'foist a Sales
Tax [on your people "In our State
are preparing to fight again against
=uchja proposal. Senator Weber of
Slavton, Administration supporter.
is introducing a KJ- sales tax pro-
oosal, which would hit - rich and
noorjwith the same impact, altho
f-he !ooor will suffer; much more
tlmn! those able to pay.
No; mention was made in the In-
^usural address concerning the
tremendous reductions in Iron Ore
valuations ordered on the Iron
Rnn«e toy Gov. Stassen's Tax Com-
missioner. Neither was the. rural
Minnesota demand for return of
the 4o Gas Tax re'ferred to, altho
we shall watch closely the Gover-
nor's treatment of these two sub-,
iects in his Budget and Tax ad-
dress this week.
What Of Banality Of
Educational Opportunities
Rumons around the Capitol have
been; strong to the effect that an
effort will be made in this session
to lower the school's share of In-
come Tax monies. Plans are being
made to provide legislation which
would reallocate twenty ' mer cent
of the money derived from" the In-
come Tax back to the county from
whence- It came, for other than edu-
cational purposes. The rural areas
of -'the state would (be denied thelr
fair share x)f the tax income from
the Iwealthier individuals of the
metropolitan centers of this State.
Insofar .as these .people are pros-
perous because of the' agricultural
areas surrounding the large cities,
this does not seem to me to give
the .farming communities of this
state a fair break.

which will give an opportunity .for
all the boys who are coming out
for practice to play on a team. This
will mean that each school will have
two teams.
"Besides the twenty teams in the
junior-senior high school intra-
mural divisions and the 'six teams
in the elementary, we have an FFA
teanr? a senior class team, and the
high school first and second teams,
making a total of thirty boys' bas-
ketball teams. Every boy from the
fourth grade through the twelfth
who wants to play basketball Is on
some team and thirty teams make
this opportunity available for 300
boys. There are exactly 278 who
are participating at the present
time."

In a game at Fargo Tuesday
evening, the local skaters scored a
4-1 win over the Ccme.ts who occu-
py the cellar position. 'McMillan, on
an assist from Gray, scored for

The Crookston .pirates scored a
5-2 victory over the Comets Thurs-
day at ; Crookston, and in another
encounter at Fargo Sunday won
a JO-4 game, LeDoux being the
main cog for the Pirates with four
points. The Pirates gave the Graf-
ton Millionaires a 5-2 setback Tues-
day evening at Grafton which put
the latter team back into third
place, with six wins and seven loss-
es. The Fargo Comets have three
wins and eleven losses, one win be-

campaign nlrl^es for trulv sane
and sensible liberal principles I
could not vote for Representative

against adequate increases in the

In his inaugural address the
Governor stressed the Importance
of Agriculture, stating that the
welfare of the farmer affects not
onlv the farmer but "indirectly—
everyone within the state." Agree-
ing with this we opposed Rep. Hall
who voted against a tax on chain
farming, a necessary measure to
help preserve individual farm own-
ership.

WOULD YOU PARDON US IF WE DIGRESS THIS
week from the customary football, baseball, basketball or box-

bit of a plug for a couple of old home town events?
St, Paul wants you for these events — the annual Winter
Carnival and the- American Bowling Congress tournament —
but you'll want to be there for them, too.
The Carnival is almost with us: it starts February 1
and runs through February 9.
The bowling tournament gets underway Ma-ch 13

lor the Carnival since its revival four years ago as this year.
Even |if you've been a party to this frolic in the past you'll
bejamazed at the "bigger and better" improvements planned
for this year.
As you all know, the big day of the Carnival is the open-
ing Saturday, February 1, when the main parade of the week
takes place in the afternoon. This is the day when the loyal
legions of King Boreas take over the city, welcoming visitors
to join with them in the fun.
But the fun goes on all week. There will be parades
every night, with musical festivals, dancing, coronations and
whatnot to provide entertainment virtually every minute .of.
the time.
; More .than that, the competitive sports angle will not
be overlooked. Skating races, ski jumping contests, dog-
sled races, etc., will provide competition, and toboggan-
ing, skating and skiing will provide the less formal
'" aspects of the sports program.

East Siders Play
Prowlers Friday Eve
(Continued from Paso One)
In the third period and went into
the lead 14-10 as the Prowlers were,
held scoreless.
But the: Prowlers took the offense
In the last quarter and crept up
Within ajpointof. the Pirate lead
as the end nekred. With the score
23-22 against them, - three Prowler
free- throws went for naught in the
last three minutes.
The Crookston fans went wild as
the Pirates maintained the lead
and the roar and tumult of the
crowd undoubtedly were in part to
blame for the failure of the local
boys to count on these gift shot
attempts. Both teams were off in
this department throughout the en-
tire game but the Lindymen missed
the greater number of them.
Flasch played a good game but
was well covered. Berg and Parbst
were the top scorers for the Lindy-
men, the former registering eight
points and the latter five. Morlan
was the Pirate star, his guarding
being outstanding. A Pirate for-
ward, Bakken, was high point man
of the game, getting 9 points.
The Prowler Reserves were given
a 37-7 setback' in the preliminary
game, the local boys being unable
,to connect for a field goal in the
entire game, playing 5 minute per-
iods. The alibi was that this was
the Reserves first trip out of town
this winter so they were lost on a
foreign floor, and the background
of the baskets was different from
the ordinary. ■

WARREN PONIES WIN
East Grand Forks had to bite the
dust for the Ponies at Warren on
Friday- night as Coach' Lysaker's
boys took the East Siders into
•camp 24-15. The Green Wave ear-
lier won from the Ponies 21-20 at
East Grand Forks.
To complicate matters among the
four big schools of this district, it
will be Interesting to note that the
East Siders have already defeated
the Pirates who won over the Prow-
lers Friday. This should make the'
Warren-Prowler game here Friday,
Jan. 24, one of considerable im-
portance.
Pirate Players Deserve
Medals For Victory
Fred O'Niel of the Grand Forks
Herald had the following to say
of the Prowler-Pirate game of last
Friday:
"Someone should cast a row of
medals and present one each, to
those Crookston high school bas-
ketball players who finally showed
District 31 fans that Thief River
Falls can toe beaten by teams in
this district. At Crookston they say
% had been six years since a Crook-
sion team had won over Thief Riv-
er Falls in a major sport. It must
be about that length of time, too,
sincti either Warren or East Grand
Forks turned the trick. That's quite
a spell for one team to dominate a
distriot so completely. Not that the
Prowlers might not continue their
usual tactics when the district cage
tournament is held. But Crookston's
victory over Thief Jliver Falls, East
Grand Forks' win and loss in the
Warren series and the Green
Wave's triumph over Crookston in-
dicate at least that there is more
balance in District 31 this season
than there has been since before
the days of George Lee's great
Prowler outfits (using the decade
or double leap-year calendar)."

An event of considerable interest to Midwestern farms occurred in Chicago recently when a
banquet was given by the DeKalb Agricultural Association in honor of Dr. George Harrison
Shull, who discovered the science of hybrid corn breeding in a series of experiments beginning
in 1905. Above, R. R. St. John, outstanding hybrid corn breeder, gives Dr. Shull a medal struck
in commemoration of the occasion. An interested onlooker is Gov. Lloyd Stark of Missouri, one
of the many leading agriculturists who paid tribute to Dr. Shull.
Stanley Suchy and his granddaughter Carol Ann Suchy believe
in enjoying winter sports to the fullest extent. Carol Ann evi-
dently enjoys the sport more than her grandfather as she and
her dog seem to be very comfortably situated.

The Pennington County Agricul-

announced that it is scheduling for
next week a series of community
meetings to familiarize farmers
with the 1941 Agricultural Conser-
vation program and other current
policies which will be of interest
to the farmers. Carl R. Anderson,
chairman of the county committee,
said there were several minor
changes in the 1941 Conservation
ProgTam that farmers will want to
learn about.
The County Committee also re-
minds farmers that there still is
an opportunity for them to order
phosphate fertilizer through the
Grant of Aid program. Individual
orders are pooled in the county
office until such a time as enough
orders accumulate for one carload
of phosphate fertilizer. At these
series of meetings the use of phos-
phate will also be discussed.
Farmers are urged to be present
at whatever meeting place would
be most convenient for them to
attend.. The meetings will be held
at 1:00 p. m. each day at the fol-

again /this week end as the War-

exception. Coach Lysaker has a
formidable team again which will
force the Prowlers to the limit to
win. The preliminary game, start-
ing at 7:15 p. m., will be between
the reseryes of the respective
schools.
The Prowlers split even in the
two games played the past seven
days. On Friday evening the Little
Green Wave team from East Grand
Forks fell easy victims to the Lin-
dymen to the tune of 34-15, but
last Tuesday at Fosston they fared
badly and were defeated 31-23.
In the game with the East Siders
the Prowlers started counting right
at the start, holding the visitors

the first period when a free throw,
was sunk. The period ended 11-1 for

Legislative Report
By Liberal Received
The Forum is herewith inserting
its second report of the legislative '
session in 1st. Paul. These reports
ill henceforth be written by Har-
old Peterson, secretary of the Far-
mer-Labor association. His report
follows:
Already in this 90-day session we
have seen eleven legislative days go
by,- up through Saturday, Jan. IB.
Altho the legislative mill grinds
slowly, especially at first, we do
not yet have any evidence that It
grinds exceedingly fine, legislatively
speaking. TJp to 'this time 54 bills
have been introduced in the House,
and 59 in the Senate.
Reapportionment And Reduction
In the Senate, Val Imm of Man-
kato has- introduced, his 'bill to re-
apportion the -legislative districts in
accordance [with the 1940 census,
and he alsoprovldes for a reduction
of the State Legislative's member-
ship from the present 67 senators
and 131 representatives to 44 sena-
tors and 88 representatives.
At the present time sixteen coun-
ties have one senator each and
several have more than one. In the
House, only a few counties do not
have at least one representative.
Until acted 1 upon by the Commit-
tee we will not know the final form
of the bill. However, any bill to re-
duce the number of members will
have tough : sledding, as many would
be voting themselves. out of a Job.
While it is true that the present
membership, especially of the
House, is rather large and unwield-

erintendent of schools in Penning-
ton county. This first .part will be
a sectional contest between a dozen
groups of schools in. this county,
a leader .being named by Mr. Dab-
low for ^ach section.
The winner in each sectional
contest will meet in a county con
tsst Saturday, Feb. '■ 1st, at Thief
River Falls when the county win-
ner will be determined. The county
winner will be given- a trip to the
Red River Valley Winter Shows at

Second Big Theft Of
Cigarettes Reported At
Great Northern Depot
The theft of another large con-
signment of cigarettes was report-
ed early Saturday by local police.
Six cases of cigarettes, valued at
$390, were stolen from a freight
car on the tracks near the Great
Northern depot late Friday night,
the seal on the car having been
broken. No trace of the culprits has
as yet been found.
This is the second theft of tobac-
co shipments at the G. N. railway
here, a shipment valued at nearly
$600 being stolen in the same man-
ner Dec. 14. The last theft totaled
60,000 cigarettes.
While the sheriff and police have
attempted to trace clues lri every
conceivable manner the search has
been fruitless this far.
Impressive ceremonies marked
the inaugural exercises for the
Third Term for President Roose-
velt at Washington, D. C, last
Monday. The first third term chiei

environments, the crowd, being
equally as large as on former sim-

President Roosevelt dedicated his
third term to the "protection and
perpetuation of the integrity of
democracy in the face of the great
perils never before encountered. In
this day the task of the people is
to save that nation and Its insti-
tutions from disruption from with-

Trinity Church Members
Hold Annual Meeting
At the annual business meeting
of the Trinity Lutheran church on
Tuesday evening following the con-
gregational supper to which ap-
proximately seventy-five attended,
officers were elected and reports on
various church activities were sub-
mitted. Fifty new members have
baen received during the year oi
1940, the secretary reported.
The officers elected were: Rev. R.
M. Fjelstad, president, with Theo.
Quale serving as vice president. A.
M. Senstad was reelected on the
board of trustees with George Mos-
tue and E. B. Benson the other
two new members. John L. Wold
and R. J. Lund were elected on the
board of deacons. The music com-
mittee will consist of 'R. J. Lund
and Mrs. H. A. Loken. Ushers will
be Robert Oden, James Skarstad,
Malcolm (Magnuson, Jewell Stadum
and Paul Senstad, with Lowell Nes-
se as head usher.
The establishment of a pipe or-
gan fund, with Mrs. O. F. Melby,
H. M. Hitterdal and Mrs. A^ L.
Hamilton on the committee, .was
authorized. A resolution was also
adopted wjhich approvedt of the en-
larged pfihsioh for pastors, which

The issue of fusion Between the
Farmer-Laborites and : Democrats
was given due consideration at the
monthly meeting of the. Thief Riv-
er Falls (Farmer-Labor club Tues-
day evening. Talks on the subject
were given by H. O. Chommie and
H. O. Berve.
Mr. Chommie contended that the
Farmer-Laborites should join the
Democratic party to assure that
the latter party would! always be
liberal and that they also needed
representation in a national party
which they do not have at present.
Because of their larger number,
Mr. Chommie contended, the Far-
mer-Laborites would gain exclusive
control of the Democratic party.
Mr. Berve believed that it was
not advisable at this time to com-
pletely associate . with i the Demo-
crats, though it is desirable that
a united effort be made to gain
control of the state administration
from the Republicans] Mr. Berve
held that to tie up with the Na-
tional Democratic party now is in-
advisable because of the fact that
a party that has been In offiice for
the length of time the Democrats
have been are sooner or later on
the way out.
Both speakers stated that it was
desirable that the Farmer-Labor
association, a thing apart from the
party, syil toe maintained to direct
the group for liberal direction.
Several others present gave short
talks at the -close of the meeting
on the subject. Among these were
Ward Long and Sam .Brandvold.

Reports Improvements
At Annual Meeting
Reports ' from the various organ-
izations of .the First Baptist church
of this city at their annual meet-
ing, held Friday evening, revealed
a very substantial growth in all
branches.
The treasurer's report showed
that the finances were in good or-
der. The pastor's salary was in-
creased twenty-five per cent. The
membership roll as reported by the
pastor, showed an Increase of forty
per cent. Rev. E. V. Peterson is the
pastor.
The following officers were elect-
ed: E. L. Danlelson was reelected
vice-chairman of the church; Mau-
rine Johnson, church clerk; Mrs
A. O. Erickson, assistant church
clerk; J. C. Danlelson, •treasurer;
Rev. E. Clay. Sunday School sup-
erintendent; H. Birchard, assistant;

for three years; Deaconess, Mrs. V.
L. Peterson, and Mrs. E. Clay.
A very favorable report was made
at the meeting by a committee
that had inspected the recently in-
stalled forced-air heating system.
This -was the second improvement
at the* church In the. past year, the
other being a prpject.of an outside
coat of paint, a" new xoof and in-
terior % decorations. : ■" '""
Complete arrangements for the
1941 Ice Carnival Feb. 8 was made
by a committee of four from the
Junior Chamber of Commerce
which made a trip to Winnipeg on
Saturday. The members of the
committee are: Don Ma ttson, 'Lin-
coln Arnold, Dr. Anderson and Les-
ter Ihle.
A group of thirty-five first class
skaters of the Winnipeg Winter
club will constitute the troupe that
will perform here at the event.
Some of these are the principal
ones in the ice carnival of two
years age and an equal number of
new skaters who have proved their
ability on the steel blades. Some
of these performers are now mak-
ing a tour of some of the larger
cities in the United States', at pre-
sent performing at a Minneapolis
rink. Vera Willis and Archie Dun-
can, the seasoned star performers
here on former occasions, will again
appear here. Another feature will
be performances by a professional
gril ,who. together with /her sister,
wfll * 'have ail unusually difficulty
and excellently, performed act.
White Way Inn Fire
Causes Slight Damages
The local Fire Department was
called Friday to the White Way Inn
to extinguish a fire which had
started Ih J the basement due to a
defective chimney. Slight damages
were reported. They were also call-
ed Wednesday evening to the Ed
Jaranson home at 317 Atlantic Ave.
N., to put out at chimney fire. No
damages were reported.
.Five delegates will represent
Pennington county ' at the annual
state conVention of the Farmer-
Labor party which will be held in
St. Paul Thursday and Friday of
next week. The local delegates who
will attend are O. F. Halldin, Mrs.
Laura Naplin, Gordon Olson. Ejnar
Jensen and Palmer Wold.
For unavoidable reasons, it was
necessary to start the convention
one day earlier than usual. This
will necessitate advancing the en-
tire proceedings one day. Conse-
quently committees will assemble
at the Association headquarters in
the Labor Temple Jan. 29. to pre-
pare subjects and questions for
convention action without any de-
lay.
Reports from counties through-
out the state indicate a good at-
tendance. The legislative session,
and the St. Paul Winter Carnival
offer special attractions to dele-
gates and visitors. This is also the-
quiet season in the country and.
farmer delegates can get away from,
their duties.
The state committee at its last
meeting outlined a new departure
for the convention. Special sessions,
were set aside for the farmer, the
business and professional, and the ■
labor delegates so each element ,
could discuss its - own problems
without confusion of numbers and
of understanding. At these special
sessions only subjects of direct and
special concern to the particular
group will be entertained.
Special committees have been se-
lected by the state chairman and
these are presumed to have ques-
tions formulated and prepared for
consideration. These special com.-
mlttees will meet Wednesday. Jan*
29, at the Association headquarters
in the Labor Temple.
The convention will open at 10
a. m. with State Chairman of the-
Association, Edward Hagen, in.
charge. •
Mayor John J. McDonough will
extend the address of welcome.

THE 3RD TERM INAUGURAL
Last Monday, .the broadcasting systems of the
nation carried the ceremonies of the inaugural of
President Franklin D. Roosevel for a third term. It
was a tradition-breaking event in that the precedent-
of no third term was discarded; FDR becomes the
-first president ever to serve for 'more than eight
years.
We who believe that adherence to tradition is
a hindrance to progress feel somewhat elated over
the ceremonies. At the same time we entertain hope
that the third term of Roosevelt will carry on hi
promoting social progress. Some of the progressive
legislation of the earlier Roosevelt program is as
yet incomplete. More must be done to improve what
■was enacted.
However, the shadow of war lurks over the pic-
ture at this time. While Roosevelt has dedicated his
third term to the preservation of democracy, let
it not envolve us in direct warfare, nor force us
to desist from improving our own economic affairs.
It is satisfying to note that a large number of
those who opposed the president's election to a third
term have forgotten their argument and joined in
the general following. That bodes well for a dem-
ocracy and should stand us •well in perilous days
os these.
STAMP PLAN WOULD AID LOCALLY
Something that is being overlooked by merch-
ants here and in other Northwestern Minnesota
towns is the Food Stamp plan which is doing much
good in over 200 cities in trie country. The plan was
discussed at a meeting of a number of merchants
early last fall but since nothing has been done about
bringing it into operation in this part of the state.
The Food Stamp plan is ah aid primarily to
the needy or those on relief. Any WPA employee
or relief client getting Five Dollars in aid will be
given half of that amount in food stamps, amount-
ing to the same thing as money, only it must be
used in obtaining only certain commodities, in this
manner a relief client or WPA worker getting $20
in relief money will get £10 in stamps, increasing
his aid therefore to $30. Of course, these stamps
will go only to those who can make general use
of the extra stamps.
The fact, that makes this plan so desirable is
that- these stamps can be used in obtaining those
goods of which this country has a surplus, such as
flour, cotton, oranges and grape fruit, butter, etc.
It reduces the surplus and as this is reduced, the
price to the prcducer is likewise raised. It was con-
ceived by federal administrators of the AAA and
has reduced the surplus prcblcm and at the same
time improved the .living conditions of the needy.
There are a great many here who could be
aided and a corresponding better business would
result ior the merchants handling these surplus
articles.
WILLKIE VISITS BRITAIN
Dope is that Wendell Willkle's primary purpose
for his trip to England is to gather information at
first hand as to whether Britain is turning liberal.
The big boys have been much disturbed lately over
reports that the capitalistic order is undergoing ser-
ious alterations in that country. Willkie wants to
see for himself. ' !
While the Administration has privately wished
Willkie Godspeed in his trip and is appreciative of
the support he has given to the "lease-lend" bill, it
is reported that FDR and the New Dealers are keep-
ing their fingers crossed until I he returns. He will
be in an excellent position to [reverse himself and
do a lot of damage, should he ichange his mind on
aid to Britain, although that contingency is regarded
as rather remote.
do any loafing, not even on a loafing job. Further-
more, there is much work for him to do these days.
He will have plenty of opportunity to show his
stature— and many are keeping their eyes on him.
STATE SCHOOLS ARE OVERFILLED
A newsreport of the state convention of the
probate judges held in St. Paul last week relates
that the state is in need of another school for
subnormal or feebleminded children. The reporr>
asserts that there are too many such cases around"
the state but they cannot be properly taken care
of because the present institutions are overfilled.
It has been known for some time that a school
of this kind has been needed. A renewed effort to
have this proposed institution located here must
again be put into motion as the legislature is now
in session.
SEN. NORRIS ON THE REA
Within the next month or two a hundred or
more farm homes reached by the Forum will be
lighted for the first time by the REA (Rural Elec-
trification administration). It is a remarkable step
forward in Rural America. On this occasion we
cannot fail to remember Senator Geo. w. Norris,
the father of the REA. In an introductory state-
ment to the recently published book, "Rural America
Lights Up," Sen. Norris states:
"My interest in rural electrification began nearly
twenty years ago during the struggle over who should
control Moscle Shoals. I reached the conclusion that
one of the greatest blessings that could come from
the harnessing of that priceless water power would
be the bringing of low-cost electricity to all the
farmers of the Tennessee Valley, not only for their
own good, but as an example to the nation. Such
an Idea was then considered by leading authorities
to be a chimerical, dream. That is one reason why
I visited Ontario' to find out what public power
would do for farmers as well as city dwellers. There
went to many farm homes and found them as
■well lighted and electrically equipped as any city
residence. Men, women, and children alike were
pleased and delighted that such a source of happi-
ness and economic advantage had come to them at
last. I found Ontario country people paying less for
electricity than were the inhabitants of our large
cities In the United States. That demonstrated to
me that real rural electrification — 'area service,* as
we now call it — was not a futile hope but a proven
reality.
"When the Tennessee Valley Authority Act o'
1933 was passed, the dream of all of us mho ha'.!
faith in this cause began to come true. President
Boosevelt's order of 1935 and the Rural Electrifica-
tion Act of 1936 brought the opportunity of rural
electrification to every State in the Union. I am
proud of REA .It has done great things and will
do greater. It is a success. We have had to fight
hard in the past, and there is hard fighting ahead,
because selfish and powerful interests are opposed
to the eceriomic and social benefits whioh cheap
electric energy is bringing to our farm homes. Bui
nothing can prevent the ultimate success of REA."
Trespassing On Capitol Hill
(By Special Correspondent)
The President's "lease-loan" bill,
designed to give all-out material
aid to Britain and other nations
resisting -aggression, will pass Con-
gress with little or no modification
after a most vicious fight, most ob-
servers predict.
Is It Nazi Propaganda
In his address before the Chicago.
Association of Commerce last week,
James S .Kemper, president of the
Chamber of Commerce of the Unit-
ed States, made it plain that many
of the big industrialists in this
country fear "some form of a close-
ly regulated socialist economy" to
emerge in Britain if England is
successful in defeating Hitler. Hence
he advises that we go slow in the
extent of laid that we give Britain.
It will be recalled that during the
period Hitler was rising to power
in Germany, he got a large part of
his aid from big bankers and in-
dustrialists, not only of that coun-
try, but of England, France, and
even the United States. He did this
by telling them that they had the
choice of either supporting Nazism
or being engulfed by Communism.
He insisted that there was no other
alternative open to them. So they
supplied him with funds and played
his game. 1
Is the same kind of Hitler pro-
paganda at work in this country
now, to convince the American in-
dustrialists that the defeat of the
Nazis will merely bring on some-
thing which they fear far more
than Nazism or Fasism — socialism?
It would 1 seem so. It all has a
mighty familiar ring. Hitler has
shown that he knows how to make
men of big business affairs his
dupes.
Looks Like Final Spasms
Last week we predicted that Mr.
Verne Marshall and his No Foreign
Wars ■Committee would not get very
far. Marshall has since driven the
nails into his coffin even faster
than we had expected.
If it is true, as has been charged,
that wealthy friends of the Nazis
promoting this committee, took in
Marshall, a small-town Iowa editor,
as window dressing, they made a
serious error of judgment. As Dale
Kramer, in this week's New Re-
public, says, "Marshall has his head
down and is swinging blindly —
landing on his friends as well as
his foes.
Marshall entered the scene with
advance notices of being a success-
ful battler. The "fights" he boasts
of having engaged in .back in Iowa
now appear to have been against
people not well able to defend
themselves. And they can hardly
be said to have been made in the
public interest. One of the most
vicious campaigns he engaged in
was against use in the local schools
of the textbooks of Professor Har-
old Rugg of Columbia University,
the objections to the textbooks be-
ing that they contained some mild
references to evil housing condi-
tions and other social ills that the

sending to prison two fanners who
took part in the farm protests dur-
ing the latter part of Herbert Hoo-

"fights" and "crusades" have been
of that kind.
Listeners on the Town Hall of
the Air last week were treated^ to
the spectacle of a man knocking
himself out — a very rare prize ring
occurence. Under questioning of the
audience, Marshall completely lost
his head, and threw childish chal-
lenges to fight "anybody who wants
to come up here." He would do
well to ponder over that ancient
Greek proverb which says, "Whom
the gods would destroy they first
make mad."
AAA PAYMENT FOR HORSE FARMERS
One suggestion for added AAA payment that
has a lot of merit to it was that where the govern-
ment would give a special reimbursement to those
farmers who cultivate their lands exclusively b>
horses.
To us that appears to have- a lot of merit. The
use of tractors enabled the farmers to cultivate
more land and also cut out the raising of oats and
other feed crops which had to be raised for the
keeping of horses. I
To some this may appear as taking a step back-
ward as modern equipment would be dispensed with.
But in view of the fact that we have a surplus of
crops and face a possibility of shortage of gasoline
why would it not be a- good way of cutting our
surplus wheat and raise more oats so we can feed
the horses instead of the petroleum dealers?
O'.t'. Dcbbin is out-of-date for some of our far-
mers b-!t he ate a lot of oats and hay, a thing
that wasn't hard on our supply of gasoline.
WALLACE TO LATIN AMERICA
That Henry A. Wallace Is going to be more than
an ordinary Vice President is seen by the fact that
he has been booked soon to ma>te a good-will tour
of the Latin -American countries.
Although not generally credited with being the
author of the Good Neighbor policy, it Is fairly
certain that he had quite a bit to do with rt.^ He
has constantly urged and promoted cultivation and
understanding of our Latin neighbors to the south.
He speaks Spanish fluently and was more in his
element when he represented the President at the
Camacho inaugural in Mexico than most people
believe.
The office of Vice President is generally regard-
ed as a loafing job. Wallace Isn't the kind who can
BECK QUESTIONS POST'S ARTICLE
Dr. Richard Beck, professor' at the University
of North Dakota, has written the editor of the Sat-
urday Evening Post taking sharp issue with a recent
article in the Post concerning the attitude of the
residents of Norway tcward the Nazi regime.
Dr. Beck challenges the statement by the author
of the article, Demaree Bess, that "the Norwegian
people submitted peacefully to the dethronement cf
their king," contending there was vigorous opposi-
tion to the action.
"We are given only one side of the picture,
while the other is subtly concealed," Prof. Beck
wrote. "I resent the article: it presents the over-
whelming majority of the great Norwegian people
in a false light." He continues in part:
"You refer to the article as 'an uncensored rec-
ord' at the same time calling attention to the fact
that It had to be 'scrutinized' by German military
authorities. That explanation was hardly necessary,
for obviously the article contains no facts detrimen-
tal to the .German regime or program. ■
'The article is in reality nothing but a justifi-
cation of Quisling and his small band of Nazi pup-
pets, through interviews .with the leaders .of that
group. i
"Let us get down to the facts. We hear nothing
about the tremendous and tragic destruction wrought
by the invaders; nothing about the wholesale plun-
der of Norwegian foodstuffs; nothing about the bill
of 90 million dollars ', which the Nazis have presented
to the Norwegian nation for 'protecting 'them;
nothing about the large scale Imprisonment of
prominent editors and other leaders of the Norweg-
ian people or the suppression of various organiza-
tions. Ample evidence of these things has come from
Norwegian leaders now in this country and from
letters smuggled out of Norway.
"Demaree Bess says: The Norwegian people sub-
mitted peacefully to the dethronement of their king.'
To be sure, the Norwegian people did not rise in
open revolt, for it would have been foolish under
the circumstances, although some very brave public
addresses were made 'by leading Norwegians on the
constitutionality of the king.
"The truth of the matter is that the rank and
file of the [Norwegian people vigorously opposed the
move to dethrone the king; always popular with
them he has increasingly become to them a living
symbol of a free and independent Norway.
"Speaking of Quisling's political following, the
author comments that in the last general elections
his party attracted less than 3 per cent of the popular
vote. More recently his 'popularity' was at a still
lower ebb, ; for in the municipal elections of 1937,
the Quisling percentage was 0.15 in the country
districts arid 0.06 in the towns. Rather an eloquent
expression I of the *respect' in which Quisling was
held by the Norwegian, voters. There Is little reason
to believe that his activities of the last few months
have made, him more popular.
"Where Demaree Bess makes a grave mistake
and does grave injustice to the Norwegian people
is In saying or implying that they are. In any grea€
number, indifferently submitting to a political trans-
formation that would reduce them to slavery. Such
an Implication, and the closing lines of the article
particularly leave that Impression, not only belles
the facts, but belles the independent spirit of the
Norwegian ; people, which centuries of foreign rule
could not weaken and which Is still a brightly burn-
ing flame." — Grand Forks Herald
Never in the state's history has
an inaugural address been delivered
by a governor which has been so
filled with self-praise and with dis-
regard for facts, as the one de-
livered by Gov. Stassen at the op-
ening of [the legislative session. It
appears that the governor proceed-
ed on the assumption that the citi-
zens- of the state, even including
members \ of the legislature, are so
ill-informed that they cannot pos-
sibly discern or analyze the empti-
ness and the contradictions In his
message.
The people of the state do know
that the Governor's claims regard-
ing the great achievements in the
welfare field are nothing but hol-
low boasts. The drastic curtailments
made in the appropriations for re-
lief and welfare two years ago ac-
complished no economies, for it
shifted the responsibility to the lo-
cal "communities to finance tills
burden. This fact has been amply
pointed out from time to time both
in the news and editorial columns
of the Twin City press.
Why did not the Governor admit
that these drastic reductions could
not have been carried thru without
suffering: and privation on the pari,
of the poor of the state if it had
not been for the Federal govern-
ment stepping in with the surplus
commodities and stamp plan which
have carried approximately 20 per
cent of the relief cost in the state?
Why did not the Governor give
credit where credit is due? During j
the calendar year 1939 Minnesota '■
received from the .Federal Surplus
Commodities Corporation products
in retail value of $3,003,804.28 for
general relief purposes, and receiv-
ed thousands of pounds of butter,
apples, oranges, etc., for the state
institutions. The figures for 1940
will shortly be available and they
will reveal a similar picture.
Ignorant of . Law and Facts
It appears that the Governor has
r.ot found time to become familiar
with the details of the public as-
sistance program in Minnesota,
which was revealed in his recom-
mendation that the state should
assume one-third of the cost of the
grants in aid to dependent child-
ren. The fact is that the state Uv«)
does now provide in the program
for aid to dependent children that
the counties will be reimbursed two
thirds by the state and federal gov-
ernments, which the Governor
should '■ know meant one-third on
the part of the state, inasmuch as
the federal social security act pro-
vides for one-third payment on the
part of the federal government.
Why did not' the Governor tell
the Legislature and the people of
Minnesota the truth, if he knows
the facts, which is that the United
States congress amended the sccial
security act, placing the federal
contribution for aid to dependent
children on the same basis as the
federal contribution in the old-age
assistance program and aid to the
blind program, namely; one half?
This amendment took effect Jan.
1, 1940i and meant a considerable
saving to the .present state admin-
istration, inasmuch as no benefit
of this federal act was passed on
by this administration to the coun-
ties. We believe the legislature well
understands this question and wil'.
so amend the law that the contri-
butions by the counties and the
state will be placed on the same
basis as the contributions for old-
age assistance and aid to the blind,
namely 1-6 by the county, 2-6 by
the state and ;l-2 by the federal
government. '
.Old-Age Assistance Deficit Straining
The Governor again made refer-
ence to deficits of two years ago
but he' failed to tell that he .will
have the largest deficits In the old-
age assistance program that the
Legislature has had to meet since
that law was placed in operation.
In the first year of the bienntum
the deficit for old-age assistance In
state funds .was $208,000, which was
met by the extraordinary procedure
of appealing to the state executive
council and they covered this de-
ficit by the sale of bonds. For the
second year of the biennium", the
Governor knows that there will be
a deficit of $1,200,000. Is this the
condition that the Governor refer-
red to' as placing the old-age as-
sistance program on a sound basis?
Lien Law Repelled Timid
. In regard to the effects of the
Lien Law, the Governor has not the
slightest Idea as to the soundness
of the .program by virtue of the
fact that no person in this state
knows what particular group of re-
cipients were influenced to refrain
from receiving old age assistance
because of the Lien ijaw provisions.
If a survey was made of the cases
who withdrew, it may well be found
that a large proportion were the
most needy who for lack of under-
standing of the law regarding the
lien or for sentimental reasons in
regard to the little home that they
struggled hard to acquire were the
one$ who withdrew.
(Dis) -Re-organization? ? ?
The Governor's statement regard-
ing the effects of the reorganiza-
tion act comes with rather poor
taste when he himself must be
conscious of the fact that many
of its provisions have had a very
destructive effect upon the insti-
tution program in the State.
Why did not the Governor in-
form the Legislature that he rec-
ognized this, as is proven bv the
fact that he engaged the American
Public Welfare Association to carry
out an extensive survey of the in-
stitution and welfare programs in
the state during the past summerv
Why did not the Governor reveal
the findings of this survey, which
were in effect that a chaotic con-
dition prevails and it is necessary
for Minnesota to place back in one
department child welfare, public
assistance and the management oi
the state institutions?
In other words, the resstablish-
ment again of one department as it
existed prior to the reorganization
act in 1939. . The Governor could
also have informed the Legislature
what the cost was of this survey,
and made a " copy of the report
available to all the members of
the House and Senate.

Committee On Unemployment
Rep Voorhis, California, has in-
troduced a resolution in the House
to create a standing committee on
unemployment. This is a step in
the direction of approaching the
unemployment problem in a real-
istic way. There are standing com-
mittees in the House on most every-
thing on earth except this most Im-
portant problem.
Said Voorhis: "We shall inevit-
ably face a most difficult adjust-
ment to peacetime employment at
some date in the future, and the
great defense expenditures will pro-
bably not offer even temporarily a
solution of the unemployment prob-
lem. It is time that we studied this
problem seriously instead of merely
playing with it and indulging in
wishful thinking."
Sure Enough, Girdler
Do you know that Tom Girdler
is a director in Aviation and Trans-
portation Corporation, which owns
100 per cent of -the stock of Avia-
tion Corporation, -which owns 65
per cent of the stock of Vultee Air-
craft Corporation? It was at the
Vultee plant in California where
the first strike in. the airplane in-
dustry occurred since the defense
program was initiated. Where there
are Girdler labor policies in effect
there .will invariably be labor diffi-
culties, since the American worker
will never consent to accept the so-
cial and economic status of a Chi-
nese coolie.
Hits Pork-Barrel Legislation
Recommendation of President
Roosevelt in his budget message to
Congress that appropriations for
rivers and harbors and flood-con-
trol works be reduced wasn't sweet
music to the ears on many members
of Congress. Although many of
these projects are worth while, a
large share is 'what is known as
pork-barrel legislation. They like
pork, and don't relish the idea of
going on a fcod ration that leaves
out this item of diet.
Current Capital Chatter
The Nazis say that American help
will arrive too late to save Britain.
But there is not a little evidence
that were it not for American helo,
the Nazi flag would today be flying
over London, when the United
States entered the World War in
1917, there were 97 German merch-
ant ships enterned in American
ports, which were seized. There
are now only two German merch-
ant ships in American ports. Would
that indicate that the Nazis knew
several weeks in advance that the
war was coming? Ninety per cent
of the labor difficulties handled by
the United States Conciliation Ser-
vice of the Department of Labor, it
is claimed, were settled satisfactor-
ily to both labor and. management.
There were 3,541 cases handled dur-
ing the past fiscal year. Announce-
ment by Acting Commissioner of
Works Projects Hunter says that
40D.OOO persons on WPA are now-
engaged in defense projects. Pre-
dictions here are that the Italians
will prove mighty good fighters
when they turn on a certain guy
by the name of Benito Mussolini.
Rep. Coffee, Washington, leader
of the liberal block in the House
stated that he will call the bloc to-
gether very soon to organize an op-
position to any effort of reaction-
aries to slip over anti-labor and
anti-social legislation - under the
guise of national defense. " Rep.
Khutson, Minnesota Republican, is
worrying because construction fore-
men in the large munitions plants
are receiving in wages several times
as much as relief workers do. He
is not worrying about how many
times as much congressmen re-
ceive. There are some members of
Congress who will vote for the re-
quested defense appropriations,
against tax increases, and against
any increase in the statutory debt
limit. They believe that they can
eat their pje and have it too. Sen.
Wagner, New York, author of the
National Labor Relations Act,
wants a Post-Emergency Economic
Advisory Commission created now
to study problems that we know
will follow in the wake of the war.
OUR WEEKLY BOOK REVIEW
The recently published book, reviewed below, can be purchased from

SEVEN YEAR HISTORY
OF CCC PUBLISHED
"NOW THEY ARE MEN"
For several years there has been
need for a book that would give a
vivid word picture of th§ amazing
organization known as "The CCC."
Now we have such a book, written
in simple 'but compelling language
by the man who knews the subject
best: The Director of the Civilian
Conservation Corps. James J. M:-
Entee. The book is entitled "Now
They Are Men" and is published by
the National Home Library Foun-
dation of Washington, D. C',. at 25
cents.
It is both a fascinating story and
a source book of information about
the chain of 1,500 camps that do:
every State jn the country. It is of
equal interest . to the youth who
thinks he may wish to beccme 'i
CCC "enrollee", to the business man
who may want to employ some
youths who have had CCC exper-
ience, to the student of public af-
fairs and to' the general public.
An important contribution of the
CCC, particularly noteworthy at
this time when the attention of the
entire nation is concentrated on
national defense, is the improve-
ment in the health of the more
than 2.000,000 men who have serv-
ed In the Corps. An interesting
chapter on "Health" describes the
hardening, the muscular develop-
ment and the improvement in con.
dltion of a CCC enrollee during hi;
stay in camp. Mr. McEntee says:
"One quarter of all the boys who
are enrolled in the CCC are below
the minimum acceptable weights
for the Army. Nearly three quarters
of all CCC boys are, at the time
they are accepted, below the Army
'Standard weights,* that * is, the
weights which the Army regards as
desirable. In a large number of the
cases this situation is due to pro-
longed undernourishment. After
these ypuths have spent a year in
a CCC' camp, it is an entirely dif-
ferent story. When they leave the
Corps to go home, cniy four per
cent of them — only one boy in 25 —
is below the minimum acceptable
weights of the Army Surgeon Gen-
eral, who lcoks after the health of
CCC boys."
The book also contains a resume
of the first cays of the CCC. the
reason for its organization, de'.ails
of the Corps administration, life
hi camp, education and training of
enrollees. and interesting chapters
on results of the CCC program, and
its future usefulness.
In the introduction, which clear-
ly demonstrates the importance of
■The CCC i:i the Uniied States.
Mr. Paul V. McNutt, Federal Se-
curity Administrator, says, in part:
"Society lias developed a number
of permanent institutions which
help to build up its resistanca
against the inroads of war and de- .
pression, such as the- school, the
church, the welfare organizations,
and others. There is now a new
institution, only seven years old,
which in this brief period of time
nas earned the .right to be adde--i
:o this family of permanent Amer-
ican institutions which build up the
strength and vigor of society. It is
the Civilian Conservation Corps."
Into these pages is packed" the
story of one of the most significant
developments in American life in.
recent years.

In The
STATE SENATE
By s. L. Tungseth
I have appreciated the many re-
quests ^rhich Irave come to me lor
continuing this column during the
lime of the legislative session. I
trust that the contents ■will prove
educational and of such import as
in a E'peciai Tray refers to our sec-
tion of the state. I also wish to
express my appreciation to the edi-
tors and newspapers who w illing ly
accept "his column. The purpose o'i
this cd* urn n is not to replace or in
any way ' compete with regular
commentators" columns, but- rather
to give a few inside highlights of
such items as are of special inter-
est to our section of the state.
"We are new ccme to the end of
the second week. The usual orsan-
izing proceeded promptly, as there
is no minority grcup in the Senatt
with sutficien: strength to blcck
the plans made by the majority
sreup. There has zttsr. very little
shifting in the committee member-
ships. I retained membership on
the i.z'r.'. committees on which I
have held membership since my
election to the Senate. These com-
mittees are Rural Credits and State
Develcpmen: ; Dairy Products and
Lrve Stock: Municipal Affairs: Pub-
lic Highways: Public Welfare:
"Lioucr Control: University: Educa-
tion. Senator Neumeier was- elected
to the chairmanship of ' the im-
■ocrtant Tax Committee, succeed-
ing the late Senator Miller of Lit-
tle Falls. Since Sen. Xeumeier is
from rural Minnesota, the rural
bloc in th? Senate looked upon this
appointment with favor. The large
cities, of course, wanted this chair-
manship, and Sen. Muilin of Min-
neapolis put in a strong bid for
session will be a very busy one.
perhaps not so much with entirely
new legislative issues as with such
issues as had been current prob-
that any further "stream-lining" of
the state government will be at-
tempted at this time. There are.
however, many items' of great in-
terest to our people, ay way of
farmer legislation, which will be re-
vised.
One instance is that of the lien
law. This law has proven to be de-
■ cidedlv unpopular even as it is de-
cidedly unfair. We are now'paying
our largest allotments of old "age
assistance to such people who have
been careless and thriftless, accu-
mulating nothing in their lifetime,
and penalizing such people as have
been thrifty and who have succeed-
ed in buildins and maintai nin g a
little home for themselves. The
unpopularity of the present law is
greatly evident bj the fact that
some 'of the first bills that went
into the hopper dealt with this
^articular legislation. Speak in g of
reorganization, we have introduced
also "this year a bill which will re-
duce the number of legislative dis-
of legislative members. This bill,
supported bv Sen. Val Imm. wculd
reduce the number of districts in
the state from 67 to 44. thus re-
ducing the membership of the Sen-
ate from 67 to 44 and the member-
ship of the House from 131 to S3.
There are several arguments in
favor, of such rearrangement, and
yet it is doubtful if the legislature
will take much time for serious
consideration of this matter. Its
saving to the state wculd be very
small and quite unnoticeable! Large
cisirJLcis requiring heavy campaign
expenditures will remove possibili-
ties of election .except to such who
are wealthy enough to make the
investment. In re-districting the
the state for legislative purposes,
rural Minnesota must be on the
watch lest it lose its balance of
power.

sanctimonious tone to plead for
care for "unfortunate and little
children" when he well knows that
his administration has been respon-
sible for the firing of all the parole
agents in the institutions like the
State Training School for Boys at
I Red Wing, and the Heme School
for Girls at Sauk Center, with the
?esult that, young boys and girls,
or as the Governor prefers to put
it in his inaugural speech "little
children of tender age" have bee?.
discharged from the institution into
the world without any supervision '
cr .adequate placement service.
This situation has become so ag-
grevated that cognizance has been
taken cf this fact by juvenile courts
and the daily press of the Twin
Cities when it was learned that
boys- paroled from the State Train-
ing Schocl with no home and no
place to go had shortly become
guilty of new offenses. What sort
of human economy has the Gover-
nor praised when mere, boys "are
permitted to become hardened
criminals because the state wants
to save a few dollars on parole and
probation officers' salaries?
Inexperienced— Incompetent:
When the Governor in his inau--
gural address declared that he has
handled" the welfare program in the
state without politics, he made tha#
statement trying to forget the past
and hoping that the people of Min-
nesota will do likewise, but it will
be hard for the citizens of the state
to forget that; he is responsible for
the inauguration of the greatest-
orgy of the spoils system that has
ever been witnessed in any state.
He' showed absolutely no regard
for the provisions of the law enact-
ed by the last session of the legis-
lature which provides that the ap-
pointments in the welfare and in-
stitution divisions shall be persons
with training and experience in the
respective field.
Contrary to that provision, purely
political appointments were made
in the institution division, for an
example the assistant director. Dr.
G. O. Orr. a superannuated dentist
was retired from his profession to
the state payroll, his institution ex-
perience consisted of having served
as chairman of the Stassen for
Governor All Party Committee- An-
other person, |. Mrs. Hazel Daniels,
who was appointed secretary of the
5ocial Security Beard, whose exper-
ience consisted of being State Chair-
p woman of the Women' Republican
I Committee.
1 The Governor cannot have for-
! gotten the wholesale dismissal of
; employees throughout the state de-
■ partments, many of whom had
1 served the state loyally fcr 10, 15.
; or more — or long before there was
a Fanner-Labor administration. If
he has forgotten he should refresh
his memory by reviewing some of
the statements made by the daily
press of the Twin Cities during the
late summer of 1939. For example,
Joe Ball, now Senator Ball, who
was the political -writer for the St.
Paul Pioneer Press and Dispatch,
and the greatest apologist for the
Stassen administration, stated in
his column in the Pioneer Press of
August 1. 1939, "in the opinion of
this column, the purge went too
far. In fact, this writer .considers
it the most serious smear on the
Stassen administration to dat*, and
the only one so far that is at all
likely to stick."
A Monumental HrprocHt
In spite of this sordid political
history, the governor has now the
audacity to declare in his inaugural
address to the state legislature that
his administration of the state de-
partments has been without poli-
tics.

i having a time of it. The Governor

one mill be levied on all taxable
property in the state, and this
would go toward payment of inter-
est and principal of Minnesota's
Rural Credit bonds. This would
take a number of years, but now
State Treasurer Schmahl says the
governor is all wet and doesn't
know what he is talking about, as
it would take close to two mills to
pay the interest of Minnesota's

George C. Jones, conservator of the
Rural Credit, stated that on Dec.
31, 1940, Ithe combined losses in
liquidating the state's Rural Credit

difference j between Mr. Schmahl
and Mr. Uones' figures and both
can't be 'right; further Schmahl
claims that the governor's plan will
not yield one half of the interest
of the Rural Credit bonds. Well,
it looks as if someone was off his
base, and I opine we will hear more
of this-
While our Republican friends un-
scramble this problem I would, like
to write on my pet topic, trees,
flowers, shrubs, gardens and im-
proved pastures and hay meadows.
It is a well known fact that our
native grasses give us poor and
short pasture period, as all we can
figure on is about five month pas-
ture per year, by breaking up our
pastures and waste land and seed
it to grasses and clovers, we can
have better hay and pasture. Al-
falfa and Bromo grass make a very
good pasture and hay combination
and it is proven that the brcmo
part will' do away with the danger
from bloating that so often result
from alfalfa alone for pasture, and
brcme grass, crested wheat grass,
western wheat grass, meadow fes-
cue, and for low wet ground Reeds
c ana ry grass. I can well remember
some years ago while checking soil
conservation in New Solum town-
ship, when I came to an old friend.
Frank Hodik, and he told me he
had bought 40 acres of real waste
land, low and wet and covered with
some scrubby bushes and weeds.
He had broken up part of the land
that summer and worked it- up in
fine shape and seeded j a mixture
of grasses. He remembered alfalfa,
reed canary grass and some other
grasses he did not remember the
name of. I had to go with him and
look over the planting. The alfalfa
showed up fine but the i rest of the
grasses looked tiny and thin. A
year or so later I met Mr. Hodik
and asked >Hm about his planting
venture. He told me that his seed-
ing was doing fine and he was sure
he was going to get a good return
from his waste la n d.
Now we have in central and east-
ern Marshall county (and what I
say about Marshall county holds
good for Pennington and Red Lake
too) many thousand acres of waste
land, sandy, wet, brushy, that couid
be broken and seeded to grass and
the land could support mare than
twice the number of cattle and
sheep that we now have and would
mean a better income for the most
of us. Some of our poor- land needs
an application of phosphate, and
that is costly, '■ but Mr. Reierson

Phosphate told him that last year
, they sold the 45 per cent phosphate
i at $54 per ton and they returned
to the purchaser $4.00 per ton so
ihe final cost was $50 per ton. This
; is high but I believe it will pay
to apply it on low ground.

Why Should a Farmer
Order His Tractor NOW?
• REASON NO. 1^-Break
in your new tractor early on
light hauling and belt jobs
— prepare now for most ef-
ficient operation.
• REASON NO. 2 — Buy
early for a better deal on
your old tractor. Buy while
we are short on used trac-
tors — while we. can offer
you an attractive trade.
• REASON NO. 3— If you
plan to change from teams
to a tractor this spring, save
a good many dollars' worth
of horse or mule feed by
trading now.
• REASON NO. 4— Be fore-
handed — get your order on
the books while tractor pric-
es are still based on 1940
labor and material costs.
• REASON NO. 5 — You
won't have to worry over
late delivery when you buy
early. Experience proves
that late buyers frequently
have to wait longer than
they want to for their trac-
tors.
• REASON NO. 6^-If your
young son or daughter plans
'to "man" your tractor for
the first time this spring,
choose your safe, comfort-
able, easy-to-handle tractor
now, so the new operator
will have a good chance to
become familiar jwith it
ahead of the rush, i
e REASON NO. 7^-Every
Farrnall in our store is the
product of careful; precise
work. These modern power-
partners were built under
the most favorable manu-
facturing conditions. You
will have to go a long way
to find a tractor as; good as
the Farmall that is; waiting
for you in our store.
Come in and talk to us about these tractors — or
phone us and we will come out to your place.

Nearly 6,000 Motorists
Lose Driver's Licenses
Nearly 6,000 motorists forfeited
their right to drive through driv-
er's license revocations and suspen-
sions enforced last year by the
State Highway department in a
record-breaking campaign to make
Minnesota's highways sale for those
who' use th em .
Two thousand two hundred and
sixty-six driver's licenses were re-
voked outright and 3,690 were sus-
pended during 1940 as a result of
the coordinated effort of Highway
ratrchnen, local police officers, and
traffic courts to eliminate those
traffic law violatio n s which acci-
dent studies have shown to be the
most common causes of deaths, in-
juries and property destruction on
highways.
Of the total of 5,95'j combined
revocations and suspensions, seven
revocations and 14 suspensions were
for offenses committed in Penning-
ton county.
The 1940 revocations showed an
ii'crease of 45 per cent over the
1.553 recorded in 1939, the previous
rr^crc year; Suspensions showed an
e\en greater increase of more than
16f per- cent ever the 1335 suspen-
sions enforced in 1939. Major in-
creases in driver's license forfeitures
resulted both from increased ar-
rests for driving while under the
influence of intoxicants, an^i from
the new policy inaugurated at the
beginning of 1940 of suspending the
driving pri allege of any person
twice convicted, and revoking" the
license of any person three times
convicted, of speeding, careless or
reckless driving within a 12-month
period.
Driving while intoxicated held
top place as the cause of license
forfeitures -with 1,664 outright one-
year revocations and 455 suspen-
sions, or a combined total of 2224
as against 1,630 in 1939.
Speeding wa^a close second in
the list of penalties, however, with
138 revocations for triple convic-
tions during the year and 1,700
motorists barred from the wheel
for varying periods t>f time as a
penalty for having committed two
speeding violations within a 12-
mont hperiod. The total of revoca-
tions and suspensions enforced for
speeding was 1338, as against 331
during the previous year.
New Ruling In Effect;
On Pickerel Fishing
Conservation Commissioner W. L
S trunk this week ordered addition-
al year round protection for pick-
eral or Northern Pike in place of
the ban on winter spearing, by
reducing daily catch and possession
limits.
Applying to angling, the daily
catch limit, beginning 30 days from
the date of the order's legal pub-
lication, will be six with 12 per-
mitted in possession. The former
limit was eight pickerel daily with
20 allowed in possession.
Effective at once the Commis-
sioners order reopened the winter
spearing season on pickerel or Nor-
thern pike, until March 1st. with
a daily ta ke limit of two permit-
ted. Possession limits will be the
same as for angling.
Asserti n g that surveys have re-
peatedly demonstrated the need for
according pickerel more protection,
the Commissioner said the new
regulation of limits will help con-
serve this fish. -.
"An inves t igation by the Director
of the Division of Game and Pish.
and the State Bureau of Fisheries
showed that the pickerel will de-
rive the needed protection from, the
reduced limits," Strunk said.
"The burden of protection wm
thereby be imposed upon all fish-
ermen instead of upon the' com-
paratively limited number of "»ir>-
ter spearmen."

Carole Lombard and Charles
Laughton are starred in the strange
romance film "They Knew What
They Wanted,", taken from the Sid-
ney Howard prize play and which
will *e seen at the Avalon Theatre
Sunday and Monday.
The center of the story is laid
in California's Napa Valley, center
of the .state's grape-growing indus-
try. Laughton, playing his first
thoroughly sympathetic to\e in five
years, portrays a happy-go-lucky
Latin vinyardist, one who has made
plenty of money and who decides
it is time for him to get married.
Miss Lombard plays a waitress
in a San Francisco cafe, whom Mr.
Laughton meets on a vacation. He
instantly falls in love with her, hut,
too shy to speak to her directly,
returns to the ranch and gets his
foreman, William Gargan, to send
her a letter lor him, since he has
never learned to write.
The correspondence blossoms into
the proposal and acceptance sta?e;
Carole gives up her job and comes
to Napa to marry Laughton, and
after a slight mix-up at the sta-
tion (for Laughton has sent her
Gargan's photograph instead of; his
own), reaches the ranch. Laughton,
overjoyed, gives a foig fiesta to cel-
ebrate "the wedding, .planned for;the
following day., put in showing; off
before the assembled guests he falls

High School auditorium on March
17. The group, composed of pianQ,
cello, violin, accordion, and tfas^.

Included in the group's musicai
repertoire are such well-known folk
songs of the Russian gypsy as "Play

"Play Gypsies, Dance Gypsies".
Among numbers by Johan Strauss
are the bewitching waltzes, "Weiner
Blut", "Tales From • the Vienna

and "The Blue Danube". The pro-
gram also includes "The Fortune
Teller", by Victor Herbert, "Ave
Maria", by Shubert, and "Hungar-
ian dances, by Brahms, as well as
other classical and semi-classical
numbers.
The solo work of the members of
the Ensemble is highly recommend-
ed by audiences before whom they
have played. Especially well liked
has been the playing of Ador Bei-
ger, violinist and conductor, who
executes a classical arrangement of
"Listen to the Mocking Bird". Oth-
er members of the Gypsy Ensemble
are David Allbero, cellist; Frahzal-
lers, pianist; Anton Janowiz, bass

BIRTHS
South St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 21,
1941: Light supplies failed to stim-
ulate demand for slaughter steers,
the trade continuing In a dull vein
following last -week's closing sharp
decline. Monday's market was bare-
ly steady and toward the close frac-
tional declines were enforced, while
the Tuesday trade dragged along
at steady rates. Medium grade
steers have predominated and • a
spread of $8.50-11.00 took the bulk.
There were several loads of good
lightweight Canadian steers at
$11.60, while the top so far this
week rested at $12.00 for good me-
dlumweight steers, some good Mon-
tana steers being forwarded because
of lack of satisfactory action. Hei-
fers were steady for the week while
cows strengthened Monday only to
slow down and sell barely steady-
Tuesday. Several loads good heifers
made $10.00. Bull prices were stea-
dy to weak, and vealers sold gen-
erally steadv, uoward to $13.00 be-
ing "paid for strictly choice kinds.
Stackers and feeders attracted sup-
port at fully steady prices. Choice
yearlings made $10.50, and good to
choice feeders brought $10.00.
After advancing 15-25c on the
week's onening session, hog prices
on Tuesdav drooped back to a level
steady with last week's close. Tues-
day's top was $8.00 paid freely on
bulk of the good and choice 180-
280 lb. barrows and gilts. Similar
grades 270-300 lb. hegs moved at
$7.90-3.00. while 300-3GO lb. kinds
cleared at $7.65-7.90, and occasional
heavierweights sold downward to
$7.50. Good and choice 140-160 lb.
weights ranged from $7.25-7.80. with
160-180 lb. averages making $7.65-
8.00. Good sows ranged from $7.00-
8.15. and feeder pigs bulked al
$7.00-7.25.
Receipts of western fed lambs
expanded materially Monday. This
factor, along with lower tones far
dressed lamb products at . eastern
centers Droved instrumental In
checking the recent rapid advance
of slaughter sheep and lamb prices.
Determined to readjust, the live cost
of lambs, local buyers sought fully
25c lower levels, but encountered
stiff resistance from salesmen. Some
weakness was apparent, but as .a Warrants on Town Funds ....

Glitter of Gadgets Often Distracts
Builder From Quality Where
It's Needed Most
Are you building a house for the
first time? Then chances are you
are in kind of a daze. There are so
many things to decide, so many
things to buy, so many more things
you want and can't buy because
there is just so much money^ Now
there's nothing less glamorous than
the concrete footings and founda-
tion. One doesn't show them off to
one's friends, but if you skimp on
either, you'll be busy for years to
come trying 1 to cover up cracked
walls that all your friends will see.
Don't Skimp On Framework
Likewise the timber skeleton or
frame of your house is going to be
all covered up, but if you skimp on
it you'll have sagging floors that
squeak at every step.
And how about those great big
holes in the wall, the rough win-
dow openings. You can buy win-
dows and window frames to fill
these holes pretty cheap. And
you'll pay for them for years to
come in heat lost, dr'afty floors and
wet walls. Or, you can buy care-
fully designed, precision built and
factory fitted windows and window
frames complete with weatherstrip
that will be a joy and a comfort
every year that you live in your
house. Yes, and you'll find that the
extra cost was money well spent
because of heat bilis, repair bills
and redecorating bills saved.
Can't Replace Windows
Good windows are a permanent
part of your walls. They protect
your investment in insulation and
quality construction. Any home
without weather-tight windows .is
only one-half insulated. So when
you build, get down to fundamen-
tals. Always remember — you can
add the gadgets any time, but you
can't replace footings or timbers or
windows. They've got to be good
right from the start. ,

WARM BED AND GOOD
CARE ADVISED FOR FLU
A time may come, according to
the Minnesota State Medical Asso-
ciation's Committee on Public-
Health Education, when an effec-
tive vaccination will be available
to stop periodic epidemics of in-
fluenza.
Experiments are now being car-
ried on among certain special
groups with a -vaccine which Is
known to prevent flu 'In laboratory
monkeys, according to the doctors.
This .vaccine is not ready for
general use, however, and, In the
meantime; members of the com-
mittee caution this year's flu vic-
tims, of whom there may be a
good many before the end of the
year, to go to bed immediately and
stay there warm and comfortabls
and preferably on a liquid diet till
the acute stage is over. This cau-
tion is stressed in" the third bul-
letin issued by the committee this
month In connection with their
campaign of education on colds,
"flu", and pneumonia.
"Bed rest and good nursing care
are the two main factors in treat-
ment," the doctors say. **They can
be supplemented by sedatives and
■preparations which will relieve
headache and body pains. But to
ignore all symptoms and attempt
to stay on your feet with the flu
is to invite serious illness and also
to help spread the disease to every-
body you meet.

Housing
In his Inaugural message the
Governor puzzled ' many people by
calling for action by the Legisla-
ture to "pioneer in an experimental
way in an attempt to make real
progress in Improving the homes
of the Ill-housed citizens of our
State." I say puzzled because the
pioneering .work in this field has
already been done by the Federal
Government. The Republican con-
trolled Senate In the 1937 session,
and the Stassen controlled House
and Senate of 1939 did nothing to
avail Minnesota citizens of the slum
clearance projects of the Federal
Government, altho the Liberals
continually fought for it. As a re-
sult we are lagging far behind. We
are one of the two states i^.*he
Nation that have not adopted en-
abling acts to permit this program
to function in our Cities. U. S.
Housing Authority representative,
Leon H. Keyserling, was in the
Cities the past week trying to find
out why "this is so. ""Rent relief
now paid in St. Paul alone," he
said, "amounts to about $600,000 a
year." TJ. S. H. A. Housing is not
icmpetitivs with private building,
as it is for the poorest people. I
trust we can do something this
session on this important question,
of Indebtedness that have been /is-
sued, for what .purpose, in what
amounts, and on what date. When
this information is received I shall
report -it to you. There are rumors
from sources that should be au-
thorative that the savings of mil-
lions claimed by Stassen for his
administration will have evaporat-
ed. «-^
Homestead Lien -Repeal
On Tuesday, Jan. 14th, Represen-
tatives Hayford, Geo. Hagen, Gor-
don C Peterson and Charles Hal-
stad introduced a bill which called
for repeal of the Homestead Lien
Law. We Liberals called for a sus-
pension of the Rules so we ^ould
take immediate action, insofar as
the provisions of the Law are well
known and have been widely dis-
cussed. Furthermore, -the Governor
in his address backhandedly prac-
tically called for repeal, so we
wanted to test the sincerity not
only of his words but the actions
of his supporters. Needless to say
we lost by a vote of 68-42, with 21
members not voting. The bill now
is i^. the hands of the Public Wel-
fare Committee, and we shall make
every effort to get it passed when
it reaches the floor again. *-a

Full membership in the National
Association of Schools of Music has
been granted the Concordia College
Conservatory of Music of Moorhead
and Fargo, according to word re-
ceived from Burnett C. Tuthill,
secretary of the association, by
Paul J. Christiansen, Conservatory
head.
"The flattering report on the
work of the Conservatory which we
received from the examining offi-
cer is a high tribute to the excel-
lent teaching staff associated with
me in the department and the gen-
erous administrative support given
by Dr. J. N. Brown, president of
the college." Mr. Christiansen said.
With this recognition, Concordia
becomes the only conservatory with
full membership between Minnea-
polis and Seattle. It is the only
music institution in North Dakota
to achieve this distinction and it
shares honors with the Minnesota
College of Music, and McPhail
School of Music In Minneapolis for
the state of Minnesota.
At present there are 242 special
students. 50 who are high school
graduates; 171 students who are
music minors in the college depart-
ment and 15 students who axe ap-
plied music majors.

"The people who pride themselves
on sticking it out regardless of how
they .feel are the ones who contrib-
ute the greatest numbers to the
death rolls from the infectious dis-
eases."
It is often difficult to differen-
tiate between a cold and the "flu"
according. to this bulletin, though
fever and exhaustion, all out of
proportion to other symptoms and
to the length of the illness, is a
common characteristic. In either
case good care promptly given will
save time, money and lives, and
such care is important even when,
as this year, the prevailing type
seems to be mild. Even mild attacks
of flu are likely to give rise to se-
vere secondary infections and, fur-
theimore, epidemics sometimes ga-
ther virulence as they move along.

The State Budget
At 11 a. m. last Thursday, Jan.
16, the Governor delivered his Bud-
;et address and recommendations
to a joint session of the House and
Senate. In the Minneapolis-Star
Journal for that day we read a
sub-headline preceding its report of
this address which was very inter-
esting, to say the least. It reads:
It Balances, Says the Governor."
We could detect a slight question-
ing tone, as they perhaps thouEht
of the bill we have already passed
in which we had to appropriate
$1,200,000 to cover a deficiency in
the Old Age Assistance fund for
the present fiscal year ending June
1, 1941.
Let me also partially quote an
editorial from the St. Paul Dis-
patch of December 14, last montb
Speaking before the Hennepin
County Bar Association^. Harry Fii-
erman. Tax Consultant, said the
state general revenue fund had a
deficit of about $3,700,000 in July,
1939, and that this. deficit now has
grown until it is between 56,400,
000 and $7,500,000. The figures de-
finitely prove one thing that the
State's accounting system which Is
a fundamental part of the Reor-
ganization Act, is not functioning,
although it is now more than 18
months since the law was passed.
One of the purposes of the Reor-
ganization Act was to end deficit
financing but from the figures that
are available It would seem that
this objective has not been accom-
plished."
I am sure you all are interested
in a true picture of your state's
finances, and as in the weeks ahead
any further deficiences are uncov-
ered I shall endeavor to keep you
informed. Already Rep. Claude Al-
len, chairman of the House Appro-
priations Committee has given us
an inkling of what lies ahead by
his statement that, "We're $3,000,-
